Lemony Mediterranean Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/4 cup olive oil
    2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest
    4 large cloves garlic, pressed
    1 tablespoon dried oregano
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
    4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
    8 baby red potatoes, halved
    1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch wide strips
    1 red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
    1 lemon, thinly sliced
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
    Combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Place chicken breasts into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Brush lemon juice mixture over chicken.
    Place potatoes, red bell pepper strips, red onion, and lemon slices in a bowl, pour remaining lemon juice mixture over vegetables, and toss to coat. Arrange vegetables and lemon slices around chicken breasts in baking dish.
    Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes; brush chicken and vegetables with pan drippings. Continue baking until chicken is browned, the juices run clear, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 30 more minutes.
