Ingrédients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts Chicken breasts about 6 oz each
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
For the Vegetables
  • 1 pound Broccoli florets
  • 1 pint Cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
For Serving
  • 1/4 cup Feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice freshly squeezed

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Large bowl
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl and pour the olive oil mixture over them. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
  4. In the same large bowl (no need to wash), combine the broccoli florets, cherry tomatoes, and red onion wedges. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the vegetables.
  5. Spread the seasoned vegetables on the other side of the baking sheet alongside the chicken.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
  7. Remove from the oven. Drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese before serving.
