Creating One Pan Lemon Chicken is simple if you follow these clear steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme. Drizzle with olive oil and half of the lemon juice, then rub the seasoning all over the chicken.
3. Arrange in the Pan: In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, arrange the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer.
4. Add Veggies: Scatter the cherry tomatoes and green beans around the chicken in the pan. Drizzle the remaining lemon juice over the vegetables.
5. Add Garlic: Sprinkle the minced garlic over the chicken and vegetables, followed by the lemon zest.
6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the pan from the oven. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices if desired.
