Grillroasted Chicken One Pan Dish

I do this chicken in an aluminum pan alot. It's a go-to recipe and fairly easy.
I take 4 large chicken breasts and season with : Dried Thyme, granulated garlic, dried rosemary, dried oregano, salt & pepper and crushed bay leaves (3). I put them in a pan and cover with one large onion, one med size red pepper, three large zucchini's (or any squash) and drizzle with olive oil. Olive oil to coat bottom of pan as well. Cover.

I roast that for about 35 minutes at 300 degrees, then I remove the chicken and grill them (2 minutes each side high heat, just to get grill marks) til almost done while the veggies roast off in the same pan. To the pan I add a cup of white wine then return the chicken to the pan to finish up (another 15 minutes or so at 200 degrees). Sounds like a busy recipe but it's not. You don't have to pull the chicken out to grill them like I do. Instead just roast for another 45-60 minutes for a total cook time of an hour and a half. One pan and done. The olive oil/white wine juice this dish creates screams for a loaf of bread or a bed of rice. Which is what I served it with. Mangia.
