Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 680 g)
  • 1 teaspoon salt 5 g
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper 5 g
  • 1 head of garlic cloves separated but unpeeled
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil 15 ml
  • 1 large red onion sliced into julienne strips (100 g.)
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced into julienne strips (100 g.)
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced into julienne strips (100 g.)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes 150 g
  • ½ cup chicken broth 120 ml
  • 4 sprigs of rosemary
  • 2 limes thinly sliced
  • 1 large zucchini sliced (150 g.)
  • ½ cup black olives 70 g

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Place them in a large baking dish.
  • Add Garlic: Arrange the garlic cloves around the chicken.
  • Add Vegetables: Scatter the sliced red onion, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, zucchini slices, and black olives over and around the chicken.
  • Add Liquid and Herbs: Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the baking dish. This will help keep the chicken moist and prevent sticking. Lay the rosemary sprigs on top of the vegetables and chicken. Arrange the lime slices evenly on top of the chicken and vegetables.
  • Bake: Drizzle the olive oil over the entire dish. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the hot oven. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C) and the vegetables are tender.
  • Broil: For a more browned and crispy finish, broil the dish for the final 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  • Serve: Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Remove the lime slices. Serve the chicken breasts with a generous portion of the roasted vegetables and some cooking juices from the pan.
