Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 bell peppers (red and yellow), sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 bottle dry rosé
Preparation
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the chicken breasts and set aside. In a baking dish, arrange the sliced vegetables and toss them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breasts on top of the vegetables in the dish. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Mediterranean chicken hot, accompanied by the roasted vegetables. Pour a glass of dry rosé to complement the flavors of the dish. The wine’s crisp acidity pairs perfectly with the savory chicken and roasted vegetables, enhancing the overall dining experience.
Tips for Success
- Use fresh herbs for a more vibrant flavor.
- Feel free to add olives or feta cheese for extra Mediterranean flair.
- Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
- Chill the rosé well before serving for the best taste.
