While the chicken marinates, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt on a sheet pan, spreading them in a single layer. Roast for 20–25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the edges are lightly charred and the vegetables are tender.
