Mediterranean Chicken Zucchini Bake
loading...
Simple baked chicken and veggies with a Mediterranean twist
Servings: 4 to 6
Servings: 4-6
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt, divided
- 1 tsp instant chicken stock, optional
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 zucchini, thinly sliced (¼" or thinner)
- 1 to 2 tomatoes, chopped
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F. While oven is preheating, slice chicken breasts horizontally to make thin filets that are approximately ¼" thick.
- On a shallow plate, season chicken with olive oil, salt, optional chicken stock, and oregano. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.
- Top the chicken with tomatoes and then sliced zucchini. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the veggies.
- Place the baking dish in the oven uncovered for 20 minutes (longer if your chicken and veggies are thicker than ¼"). It's okay to broil for the last 1 to 2 minutes to brown the cheese on top.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes to let the cheese set up.
Notes
- This can be served as is if you're looking for a keto friendly meal but can also be served over rice or couscous.
- If you feel the chicken needs more flavor, consider a 1 to 3 hour marinade in olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, cumin powder, and ground coriander.
- The chicken can also be seasoned with garlic powder at the start. You can also add thinly sliced onions with the veggies.
