Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups broccoli florets

1 lemon (zested and juiced)

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

      Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor).

        Arrange Ingredients on a Pan: On a large baking sheet, lay out the marinated chicken breasts in the center. Arrange the broccoli florets around the chicken. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the broccoli to coat.

          Roast the Dish: Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C) and the broccoli is tender yet crisp.

            Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve hot. Enjoy your one-pan meal!
