Ingredients
- This Mediterranean Chicken Zucchini Bake combines tender chicken with fresh zucchini and bold Mediterranean flavors. Perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner, it’s a low-carb, gluten-free meal full of fresh veggies and seasoned with aromatic herbs like oregano and thyme.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts, season with salt, pepper, and half of the oregano and thyme. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat.
- In the same skillet, add zucchini, onion, and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Arrange the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Top with the sautéed zucchini, onion, and garlic mixture.
- Scatter cherry tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese over the top.
- Sprinkle the remaining oregano and thyme over the dish and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For added flavor, drizzle a bit of balsamic vinegar over the dish before serving.
- You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts for a juicier option.
- Feel free to add other Mediterranean ingredients like artichoke hearts or roasted red peppers for extra flavor.
