Instructions
Creating Mediterranean Chicken Zucchini Bake is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a large baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
3. Season Chicken: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, oregano, basil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the chicken breasts.
4. Arrange Vegetables: In the prepared baking dish, layer the sliced zucchinis, diced bell peppers, and onion. Season with a little salt and pepper.
5. Add Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the vegetables.
6. Add Tomatoes: Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes around the chicken in the baking dish.
7. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
8. Add Feta: In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top.
9. Rest the Dish: Once baked, allow the dish to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This ensures flavors meld together.
10. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley for an added pop of color.
