Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Add chicken pieces to the bowl and massage the marinade into the chicken.
Prepare a sheet pan by placing parchment paper or lightly greasing it; arrange the marinated chicken on the pan.
Add your seasonal vegetables around the chicken.
Drizzle a little additional olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with salt.
Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and set a timer for 30-35 minutes.
Check on your meal halfway through to observe the cooking progress.
When the timer goes off, check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and remove from the oven.
Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving, garnished with chopped herbs or lemon wedges.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for a few hours or overnight.
Feel free to customize the seasonal vegetables based on what’s available or in-season.
Serve with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
