  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place chicken breasts into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Whisk olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Brush some of the mixture onto chicken.
  • Place potatoes, bell pepper, onion, and lemon slices into a bowl; pour in remaining lemon juice mixture and toss to coat. Arrange vegetables and lemon slices around chicken in the baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Brush chicken and vegetables with the pan drippings. Continue to bake until chicken is browned, the juices run clear, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 30 more minutes.
