Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 Roma tomatoes (about 1 pound total)
3 medium zucchine (large garden ones were ok)
1 bulb fennel
3 Tb olive oil
3/4 tsp salt
4 bone-in chicken breast halves, skin removed
4 cloves garlice, minced
1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
1 Tb fresh lemon juice
freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp dried crumbled rosemary
NOTES: Made extra pan with vegetables, very nice. Pan with veggies and chicken had more juice, less roasted flavor. Used 375 F convection roast oven..

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 F. Cut tomatoes lengthwise into quarters. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise once and then 2 or 3 more times. Remove outer layer of fennel and discard. Cut bulb in half so that each half retains part of the stem end. Cut each half into 8 thin wedges, held together by a little bit of stem. Put vegetable in baking dish. Toss with 2 Tbs of oil and 1/4 tsp of salt. Arrange the chicken pieces on top. In a small bowl, combine remaining 1 Tb oil and 1/2 tsp salt, garlic, lemon zest and juice. Rub mixture into the chicken in pan. Season with pepper. Roast 30 min. Stir vegetables and add rosemary. Continue roasting until chicken is just cooked and vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, 15 to 25 min more.
