Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, minced garlic, lemon zest, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  • Add the chicken breasts and peppers to the bowl and toss everything well, making sure to coat everything evenly.
  • Spread the chicken and veggies on the prepared baking sheet. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  • Once the chicken is done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top of the chicken and red bell peppers.
  • Serve the chicken and red bell peppers with lemon wedges.

Notes

  1. Vegetable Variation: Feel free to add or substitute other vegetables like zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or asparagus, depending on preference or availability.
  2. Serving Suggestion: This dish pairs well with a light salad or a side of steamed rice or quinoa to absorb the delightful lemon honey garlic sauce.
  3. Feta Substitute: If you’re not a fan of feta, goat cheese or parmesan can be great alternatives, adding a creamy or sharp contrast to the sweet and tangy flavors respectively.
  4. Spice Level Adjustment: For those who enjoy a bit of heat, consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before baking.
