# How-to:

01 - Set oven temperature to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
02 - Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper in a small mixing bowl.
03 - Arrange chicken breasts on the sheet pan. Brush both sides generously with half the marinade.
04 - Combine zucchini, corn kernels, red onion, and cherry tomatoes in a large bowl. Toss with remaining marinade until evenly coated.
05 - Spread seasoned vegetables around the chicken in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan.
06 - Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
07 - Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes. Slice if preferred, and sprinkle with chopped basil or parsley to finish.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Your kitchen stays tidy with just one sheet pan to clean up after dinner.
  • The marinade adds big flavor to both chicken and veggies, so every bite feels special.
02 -
  • If you crowd the pan, the veggies will steam instead of roasting, so leave extra space.
  • Marinating the chicken longer (even just 30 minutes) makes it much juicier and tastier.
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients roast more evenly, so take chicken and veggies out 15 minutes before starting.
  • Double the marinade and use half for a drizzle at the end—it boosts flavor and looks gorgeous.
