Chicken breasts, artichoke hearts, grape tomatoes, and zucchini are seasoned with fresh lemon, dried oregano, chopped garlic, and olive oil and then roasted in the oven all at once on one pan. It really doesn't get much more convenient than that, and you can have a hearty dinner on the table ready to go in just 35 minutes. We love the combination of flavors, textures, and colors that this easy recipe provides. Turkey cutlets can also be used instead of chicken breasts if you want to mix things up a bit—just add them to the pan about 5 minutes into the cooking time because they can cook more quickly than the vegetable mixture.
