Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 Tbsp honey preferably local
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce*
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 3-4 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 8 oz / 225g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 lb / 500g. fresh asparagus trimmed
  • 2 small zucchinis courgettes, halved and sliced
  • 1 large yellow squash halved and sliced
  • Sprigs of fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  • Place the lemon juice, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, sesame oil, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and black pepper then whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper, as desired, and add to a large, sealable freezer bag. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken and seal the bag tightly. Gently turn the bag to make sure the chicken is uniformly covered.
  • Marinate the chicken at room temperature for at least 30 minutes (but not more than 2 hours) or overnight in the refrigerator. Store remaining marinade in an airtight container until ready to prepare the vegetables.
  • When ready to cook the chicken, pre-heat oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6 and spray a large sheet pan or rimmed baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Arrange the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and place in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  • While the chicken is roasting, add the asparagus, zucchini, and yellow squash to a medium bowl. Pour the remaining marinade on veggies and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Gently toss to coat and set aside.
  • After 15 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven and carefully arrange the veggies alongside the chicken in a single uniform layer. Avoid overcrowding or the vegetables will steam instead of roast. Pour excess marinade on top of chicken and veggies.
  • Return sheet pan to oven until the chicken is fully cooked through and juices run clear, and the veggies are bright green and slightly fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Transfer the chicken and some veggies to individual serving plates, and garnish with fresh basil before serving. Enjoy!
