Description

Bright and tangy, this vibrant sheet pan meal combines succulent chicken with colorful veggies in a delightful lemon-tahini glaze for an easy weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), chopped
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine lemon juice, tahini, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Toss the chicken breasts in the mixture until well-coated. Let marinate for about 10 minutes.
  4. While the chicken marinates, chop bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces.
  5. On a baking sheet, spread the marinated chicken on one side and arrange the chopped vegetables on the other side. Drizzle any remaining lemon-tahini sauce over everything.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are caramelized.
  7. Serve hot and drizzle leftover sauce over each plate for extra flavor.
