Looks delicious, lemon and pepper are always profound together 🙂
Feedback since you have the newbie tag. A good way to build MD plates is using plate quarters method. 1/4 plate lean meat (about 3oz chicken there so spot on portion), 1/4 grain or starchy vegetable (1/2 cup portion, again looks like you are spot on) and 1/2 (2 portions, or more) veg.
Veg you want to go for as much variety as you can so you get a mix of different nutrients. Where a vegetable has different colors go for reds/purples/blues over yellows or greens, in nearly all cases they have better nutrition and will have special phytonutrients that give them those colors. It’s actually not more expensive/complicated to buy variety either, you just get smaller quantities of each but higher variety.
Also whenever a recipe calls for potatoes try and sub in sweets instead. Sweet potatoes (even if they are not purple) are one of the healthiest veggies you can eat 🙂

Looks delicious! What is the vegetable – is it yellow squash? PS if you can stand it, you should preferably remove the skin from the chicken before cooking
