Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 1½ lb total
  • 2 medium bell peppers sliced
  • 2 medium carrots thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red onion cut into wedges
  • 2 lemons
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper and pound them to an even thickness of approximately ¾ inch.
  • Zest and juice one lemon. Whisk the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, oregano, salt, and black pepper together in a small bowl.
  • Place the chicken in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Arrange the peppers, carrots, and red onion in the baking dish. Pour the remaining marinade over the vegetables and toss to coat.
  • Place the marinated chicken breasts over the vegetables. Thinly slice the remaining lemon and arrange several slices around the chicken.
  • Bake for 22–27 minutes, or until the thickest portion of the chicken reaches 165°F and the vegetables are tender.
  • Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
