Mediterranean Chicken Zucchini Bake
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30–35 minutes
Total Time: 45–50 minutes
Ingredients3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 medium zucchinis, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 red bell pepper, diced
½ red onion, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
InstructionsPreheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prep the chicken and veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, and garlic.
Season: Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle in the oregano, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
Assemble the bake: Transfer the mixture into a large baking dish or sheet pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender. Stir once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Add feta: Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes, just to warm the cheese slightly.
Garnish and serve: Remove from oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley (if using), and serve hot.
Serving SuggestionsServe over couscous, quinoa, rice, or orzo for a more filling meal.
Great with a side of warm pita bread or a Greek salad.
