# Required Ingredients:

→ Protein

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)

→ Vegetables

02 - 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into ½-inch rounds
03 - 2 ears of corn, kernels cut from cob or 1½ cups frozen corn, thawed
04 - 1 red onion, cut into wedges
05 - 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

→ Marinade / Seasoning

06 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
07 - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
08 - 2 teaspoons garlic powder
09 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
10 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
11 - ½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
12 - 1 teaspoon salt
13 - ½ teaspoon black pepper

→ Garnish

14 - 2 tablespoons fresh basil or parsley, chopped (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
02 - In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, chili flakes if desired, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly.
03 - Arrange chicken breasts on the sheet pan and brush both sides with half the marinade.
04 - In a large mixing bowl, toss zucchini, corn, red onion, and cherry tomatoes with the remaining marinade until evenly coated.
05 - Distribute vegetables around the chicken in a single layer on the sheet pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and vegetables are tender and lightly browned.
06 - Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes, then slice if preferred. Finish with chopped basil or parsley before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It’s secretly the best way to eat summer vegetables all at once without extra dishes.
  • Everyone can grab a piece straight from the pan, and somehow that always sparks laughter at the table.
02 -
  • If you crowd the pan, the veggies steam instead of roast and you miss out on those magical brown bits.
  • I found out by accident that cutting the onion a little too thick meant it stayed far crunchier than the rest—stick to wedges.
03 -
  • Letting the sheet pan heat briefly before adding everything delivers those gorgeous crispy spots.
  • Brush the marinade under the chicken as well for flavor in every bite.
