  • Author: Ava Reynolds
  • Total Time: 17 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 4 medium zucchinis, sliced
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1 small onion, diced
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
– ½ cup kalamata olives, sliced
– 2 teaspoons dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon pepper
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating the Mediterranean Chicken Zucchini Bake can be accomplished easily by following these steps:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, mixing well to coat.
3. Layer the Vegetables: In a large baking dish, layer the sliced zucchinis, diced onion, red bell pepper, minced garlic, and cherry tomatoes evenly.
4. Add the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the vegetable layer.
5. Add Feta and Olives: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and sliced olives over the chicken and vegetables.
6. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes.
7. Uncover and Continue Baking: After 20 minutes, remove the foil to allow the chicken to brown. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
8. Garnish: Once out of the oven, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
9. Serve: Serve hot, pairing it with a side salad or whole-grain rice if you like.

By following these steps, you can create a delicious Mediterranean Chicken Zucchini Bake that will impress everyone!
