Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Trim and halve the 1 lb Brussels sprouts, and slice the 1 red bell pepper into strips. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
Step 2
Roast the vegetables until browned and tender, about 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway. Meanwhile, cook the 1 cup rice according to package directions.
Step 3
While vegetables roast, zest and juice the 1 lemon. In a small bowl, mix the zest, juice, 1 tsp oregano, 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Season the 2 chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high; cook chicken until charred and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
Step 5
Brush the cooked chicken with the lemon-herb mixture. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice.
Step 6
Serve chicken over rice with roasted vegetables, sprinkle with 2 tbsp capers, and add a lemon wedge on the side.
