A vibrant mix of vegetables roast alongside chicken in this recipe, transforming into a warm chopped salad. Quickly marinated chicken breast pieces stay juicy and moist during cooking, emerging with the texture of chicken that has been gently poached. Zucchini and bell peppers release flavorful juices as they cook; the resulting liquid gets transformed into a tangy vinaigrette that comes together in the pan. Leftovers are great the next day, tucked into a baguette. You could also chop the chicken and veggies, then simmer them in marinara sauce for a heartier pasta meal.

Preparation
Step
1
Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of the oil with the lemon juice, garlic and oregano; season with salt and pepper then whisk to combine. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat, massaging the marinade into the chicken.
Step
2
On a large rimmed sheet pan, combine zucchini, bell pepper and 2 tablespoons of the oil. Season with salt and pepper, toss to coat, then spread in an even layer. Arrange chicken on top in an even layer. Roast until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender but still have texture, 15 minutes.
Step
3
Transfer chicken and vegetables to a large plate. Strain the pan juices through a fine sieve into a small bowl; add the remaining ¼ cup oil and the parsley and whisk until well blended.
Step
4
Divide romaine and tomatoes among plates. Top each with some of the chicken, vegetables, cheese and a drizzle of the pan-juice dressing. Serve warm.

Cooking Notes
Note, Metro Philly
A little dab of coarse grain mustard will help emulsify the dressing.

Doesn't "Nuke" usually mean microwave it?
Brenda
Nuke the zucchini. Replace with back olives
Ellen
Halved cherry tomatoes and roasted along side everything else. Delicious.
Mariza
I added cauliflower to the veggies and made it with chicken thighs (skinless/boneless)Next time I’ll roast veggies and chicken separately, veggies came out too soggy.
Richard
I like zucchini! Leave the recipe as it is.

I hate olives! Try adding pre-cooked small pieces of bacon for taste kick
Fern Glass Boyd
This was delicious - 5 stars! I used bone-in chicken thighs, chopped each thigh in 2 pieces, gave them a head start in the oven for 10 min., then added the veggies. I also added my own homemade croutons to make it a complete meal. Highly recommended for a healthy, savory meal!

Made as written—so delicious!

I cook for just me and my husband, so I made this into two meals: the first night I served it with pasta instead of lettuce; the next night, I served it cold on lettuce and added croutons and vinaigrette dressing. I didn't use the cheese either time. It was a hit.
OBX Baker
Followed recipe exactly but cut in half. Delicious!!

It’s not necessary to use so much oil which makes an otherwise low calorie healthful meal much more caloric.For those of us who monitor our weight I recommend using olive oil spray.
Sheri ONeill
I made this exactly as written, except I also added some sliced castelvetrano olives that I had on hand. It was absolutely delicious! My husband also loved it. I had some of the chicken/zucchini/red pepper mixture leftover and enjoyed it again for lunch.
JZ
It was certainly fresh and healthy. I added green olives, which really were the star. Without them, the chicken and veggies would have been a bit bland and soggy. Next time will try the suggestion to cook separately and add mustard to the dressing to try and get some extra flavor in there.

Tonight’s dinner. Followed recipe. Delicious! Served with Genevieve Ko’s Fast and Easy Focaccia. Winning combination.
Jacquee
I added a few carrots to the veggie mix. I think the dressing could use some balsamic vinegar

No need to strain the pan drippings before adding to vinaigrette. Any solids just help it emulsify.
Tim
My old oven won't do more than 390f. Any idea how that affects the timing?
Mariano
Made as per the recipe. Must pay attention to the vegies, so they do not overcook. Ended up a delicious salad-dinner! My family loved it! I added olives! And some cappers for a zest! 😉
