Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp olive oil, rosemary, oregano, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Rub this marinade over the chicken breasts and set aside for 10 minutes.
On the prepared baking sheet, toss bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread vegetables in a single layer, leaving space for the chicken.
Nestle marinated chicken breasts among the vegetables. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internal temperature and vegetables are tender and caramelized.
Remove from oven. Arrange chicken and roasted vegetables over a bed of fresh spinach on each plate. Sprinkle with feta cheese if using.
Serve immediately, spooning pan juices over top for extra flavor.
