  2. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

  5. Drizzle the vegetables with additional olive oil, salt, and pepper for extra seasoning.
  6. Sprinkle fresh herbs over the chicken and vegetables.

For extra crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last 5 minutes. Marinate the chicken for a few hours or overnight if time permits for deeper flavor.
