Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
  • 3 medium zucchinis, sliced into rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¾ cup shredded mozzarella or Italian cheese blend
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss chicken and zucchini with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top.
  5. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and cheese is golden and bubbly.

Notes

Choose medium-sized zucchinis for even cooking. For extra crispness, switch to broil for the last 1–2 minutes. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.
