Lemon Greek Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 teaspoons lemons, zest of
    1/2 cup lemon juice
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    4 cloves garlic, pressed
    2 -3 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon black pepper
    2 medium baking potatoes, cut into wedges
    1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
    1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
    8 ounces fresh whole mushrooms
    4 bone in chicken breast halves or 2 1/2-3 lbs chicken, cut up
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    In a bowl, combine lemon zest, juice and oil.
    Press in garlic, add oregano, salt and black pepper; set aside.
    In a ziplock bag toss all the vegetables in 1/2 of the lemon juice mixture and layer on the bottom of a baking pan.
    Place chicken on top of vegetables; brush with remaining lemon juice mixture.
    Bake 1 hour or until chicken is no longer pink in the center, brushing chicken and vegetables with pan juices several times throughout the baking time.
    Note: I make a little extra lemon juice mixture to make it even zestier.
