Description
A delicious Mediterranean-inspired dish featuring chicken and zucchini baked to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into rounds
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a little olive oil.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchinis, chicken pieces, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until well coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, until the feta is slightly melted.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Substitute the zucchini with bell peppers or eggplant for a different vegetable profile.
