# Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken breasts and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor development.
03 - Arrange zucchini, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine and spread in a single layer.
04 - Place marinated chicken breasts on another baking sheet or nestle among the vegetables if space allows.
05 - Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender with caramelized edges.
06 - In a medium saucepan, combine rice, water or chicken broth, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, approximately 15-20 minutes for white rice or 35-40 minutes for brown rice.
07 - Whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well emulsified.
08 - Divide cooked rice among serving bowls. Top with roasted vegetables and sliced chicken breast. Drizzle with lemon dressing and serve immediately.
