Baked Chicken with Sauteed Vegetables

This is healthy chicken recipe. I loved this a lot..Sometimes we get bored of our normal routine and want to try something new and of course it should be filling..can't get up in the middle of the night. I had bought chicken breast to try out a different dish which I'm planning for ages. I tried this recipe dinner with some mild soup and it was too good. Very less oil and inclusion of favorite veggies made it a instant hit.

I'm not a big fan of adding veggies to non veg dishes. Would normally oppose when MK suggests adding potato into fry items. But will do it only when it is a big crowd. But Bell peppers and Mushrooms are good choices ans made a good combo with the Chicken.
