Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Place them on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle half of the olive oil mixture over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- In a separate large bowl, combine the broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, and red onion wedges. Drizzle the remaining olive oil mixture over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
- Arrange the seasoned vegetables on the other side of the baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Once done, remove from the oven. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken and vegetables before serving.
