Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Garnish
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot enough for quick and even cooking of the chicken and vegetables.
- Prepare Ingredients on Sheet Pan: Arrange the chicken breasts, sliced red and yellow bell peppers, sliced onion, cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic evenly on a large sheet pan.
- Season and Toss: Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything gently to coat evenly with the oil and seasonings.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The vegetables will become tender and slightly caramelized.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top for brightness, and serve immediately while hot.
