Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 lemon, thinly sliced
• 4 large cloves garlic, pressed
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch wide strips
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest
• 8 baby red potatoes, halved
• 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
• 0.75 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place chicken breasts into a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Whisk olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Brush some of the mixture onto chicken.

Step 3

Place potatoes, bell pepper, onion, and lemon slices into a bowl; pour in remaining lemon juice mixture and toss to coat. Arrange vegetables and lemon slices around chicken in the baking dish.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Brush chicken and vegetables with the pan drippings. Continue to bake 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 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 30 more minutes.
