Equipment
13”x 18” sheet tray
parchment paper
cutting board
knife
measuring cups and spoons
large mixing bowl
zester or microplane
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
¼ cup (60ml) olive oil
1 tbsp (15ml) minced garlic
2 tsp (10ml) dried oregano
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
a few sprigs of fresh thyme
zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 medium zucchini, sliced ½ “ thick rounds
2 red peppers, seeded, cut in to 1” pieces
1 green pepper, seeded, cut in to 1” pieces
½ red onion, cut into 1” pieces
1 cup cherry tomatoes
¼ cup (60ml) fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces
Place the chicken breasts in a mixing bowl with the dried oregano, thyme, minced garlic, salt, pepper, lemon juice, zest and olive oil. Cover and marinate, refrigerated for 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350’F (175’C)
Cut your zucchini, peppers and red onion and, along with the cherry tomatoes and basil, add to the marinating chicken. Mix well and return to the refrigerator for another 15 minutes.
Arrange the marinated chicken and vegetables on a parchment lined sheet tray, with the chicken breast in the centre of the tray and the veggies around the outside. Transfer to your preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, distribute the bocconcini and a few dollops of ricotta evenly around the tray and return to the oven. Continue cooking until the chicken breast reaches an internal temperature of 165’F (74’C) when probed at its thickest point, another 10-15 minutes longer.
Serve straight from the tray and enjoy!
