Lemony Mediterranean Chicken

Ingredients

• ¼ cup grapeseed oil

• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest

• 4 large cloves garlic, pressed

• 1 tablespoon dried oregano

• ¾ teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

• 8 baby red potatoes, halved

• 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch wide strips

• 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges

• 1 lemon, thinly sliced

Directions

Step 1 - Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2 - Combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Place chicken breasts into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Brush lemon juice mixture over chicken.

Step 3 - Place potatoes, red bell pepper strips, red onion, and lemon slices in a bowl, pour remaining lemon juice mixture over vegetables, and toss to coat. Arrange vegetables and lemon slices around chicken breasts in baking dish.

Step 4 - Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes; brush chicken and vegetables with pan drippings. Continue baking until chicken is browned, the juices run clear, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 30 more minutes.

Cook's Note:

Use more lemons for extra tangy goodness. Also use whatever vegetables you prefer; it is delicious with any.
