Ingredients
For the Chicken & Vegetables:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Mediterranean Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
For the Topping:
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or feta for a Mediterranean touch)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
- Season the Chicken & Vegetables: Toss chicken, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and garlic with olive oil and Mediterranean seasoning. Mix well to coat evenly.
- Assemble the Bake: Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture in the prepared baking dish. Top with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
