Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
Sauce and Oils
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Season the chicken: Generously season the boneless chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to infuse them with rich, aromatic flavors.
- Prepare the vegetables: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped red and yellow bell peppers, sliced zucchini, minced garlic, and olive oil. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with oil.
- Arrange on the baking sheet: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the center of the prepared baking sheet and surround them evenly with the vegetable mixture to ensure even cooking.
- Make and add the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce and honey until smooth. Drizzle this savory-sweet sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables for added flavor and moisture.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the vegetables are tender and cooked through.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked safely to 165°F (75°C).
- Feel free to swap vegetables with your favorite seasonal veggies like broccoli or carrots.
- For extra flavor, marinate chicken in the soy-honey sauce for 30 minutes before baking.
- Serve with rice, quinoa, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
