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.
