Preheat Oven:
Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup.

Season the Chicken and Veggies:
In a large bowl, combine chicken, broccoli, zucchini, squash, and (optional) bell pepper. Add 2 tbsp olive oil, lemon zest, oregano, thyme, garlic-infused oil (if using), and salt. Toss to coat evenly.
