Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts, diced
  • 3 medium zucchinis, chopped into half-moons
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Optional for topping

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and ensure your chicken and zucchini are chopped into uniform pieces.
  2. Toss the diced chicken and zucchini in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until coated.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly in a 9x13 inch baking dish without crowding.
  4. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes. If using cheese, sprinkle it on top during the last 5 minutes.
  5. Rest the dish for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to settle.

Notes

  • Cut zucchini thick to prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Pat the chicken dry before seasoning for better flavor.
