Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. 
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Cut zucchini into 1/4-inch rounds.
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1-inch pieces.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Zest half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 servings). Cut lemon into wedges.
Start veggies
2
  • To an unlined baking sheet, add zucchini, peppers and 1 tbsp oil. (NOTE: For 4 servings, use 2 baking sheets, with 1 tbsp oil per sheet.)
  • Season with salt, pepper and Dill-Garlic Spice Blend. Toss to combine. 
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 5 min. (NOTE: For 4 servings, roast in the top and middle of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.) (NOTE: Veggies will continue to roast in step 4.)
Sear chicken
3
  • Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and 2 tsp (4 tsp) Lemon-Pepper Seasoning.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Sear for 1-2 min per side, until golden.
Roast chicken and finish veggies
4
  • When veggies have roasted for 5 min, carefully remove baking sheet from the oven. Move veggies toward the edges of the sheet. 
  • Transfer chicken to the centre of the baking sheet. 
  • Continue to roast in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, until veggies are tender and chicken is cooked through.**
Make lemon cream sauce
5
  • Meanwhile, reheat the same pan (from step 3) over medium.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then garlic. Cook for 30 sec, stirring often, until fragrant.
  • Add 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water, cream, broth concentrate and remaining Lemon-Pepper Seasoning. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly.
  • Remove the pan from heat, then stir in half the lemon zest. (TIP: Prefer a more tangy sauce? Squeeze in the juice of a lemon wedge.)
Finish and serve
6
  • When veggies are done, sprinkle with remaining lemon zest. Toss gently to coat.
  • Thinly slice chicken.
  • Divide chicken and veggies between plates.
  • Drizzle lemon cream sauce over chicken.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top.

If you've opted to get chicken thighs, cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook chicken breasts.
