Description
A flavorful one-pan meal featuring chicken breasts roasted with colorful vegetables, topped with crumbled feta cheese and pomegranate seeds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (150 g each)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
- 2 red bell peppers, sliced
- 1 small zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 200 g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 120 g feta cheese, crumbled
- 100 g pomegranate seeds (arils)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and toss to coat evenly.
- Arrange the chicken breasts on the prepared sheet pan.
- Scatter the red onion wedges, bell pepper slices, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes evenly around the chicken. Drizzle vegetables lightly with a bit more olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 74°C/165°F) and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
- Remove from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the crumbled feta and pomegranate seeds over the hot chicken and vegetables.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken for a few hours before roasting.
- You can substitute the feta with a dairy-free alternative for a vegan version.
