Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for your bake.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, sliced zucchini, halved tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to thoroughly coat the chicken and vegetables with the seasonings.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly in a baking dish, making sure everything is well-distributed for even cooking.
  4. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  5. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  6. Finally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving to add a refreshing touch.

Notes

This dish is excellent for meal prep. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through. Experiment with vegetables or herbs based on what you have on hand.
