Embracing the Mediterranean Way: A Beginner’s 90-Day Journey to Heart Health

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. 3

   In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken pieces and all the prepared vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, cherry tomatoes, broccoli florets). Pour the whisked marinade over everything. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
4. 4

   Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use a second sheet if necessary to ensure even roasting.
5. 5

   Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly browned at the edges. Stir gently halfway through cooking.
6. 6

   Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately. Delicious on its own or with a side of quinoa.
