- 2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts and let them sit for at least 10 minutes.
2. Prep the Veggies: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and bell peppers on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast for 15 minutes.
