### Instructions
#### Step 1: Prepare and Roast the Vegetables
* Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
* Toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper.

* Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
* Add chicken to skillet and cook 6-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
#### Step 3: Make the Creamy Herb Sauce

* Add Dijon mustard and stir until sauce thickens slightly (about 3-5 minutes).
* Season with salt and pepper to taste.
#### Step 4: Combine and Serve
