Lemon Garlic Chicken with Veggies and Mash

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the chicken breasts and let them marinate for 30 minutes.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken
Heat a skillet or grill over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F.

Step 3: Make the Mashed Potatoes
Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash with milk, butter, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Roast the Veggies
Toss the asparagus, carrots, and bell pepper with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F for 20 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 5: Serve
Plate the chicken alongside mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley and a lemon wedge on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
