5. In a mixing bowl, toss the zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red onion with the remaining seasoning mixture.
6. Arrange the vegetables around the chicken in an even layer.
7. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F internally and the vegetables are tender.

Notes
Use similar-sized chicken breasts so they cook evenly.
Do not overcrowd the pan or the vegetables may steam instead of roast.
Add a fresh squeeze of lemon just before serving for extra brightness.
