Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil on a large sheet pan. Spread the sliced zucchini, yellow squash, and garlic evenly. Add the halved cherry tomatoes on top.
- Nestle the coated chicken breasts among the vegetables on the sheet pan. Sprinkle remaining salt, pepper, and fresh thyme leaves over everything.

Notes
- For even cooking, pound chicken breasts to uniform thickness before seasoning.
- Customize vegetables by adding bell peppers, asparagus, or carrots cut to similar sizes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
- For dairy-free option, substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast or dairy-free cheese.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure roasting instead of steaming.
