Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 large red onion, sliced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the cubed chicken breasts with olive oil. Add dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season generously with salt and pepper. Toss until evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours).
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced zucchini, chopped red bell pepper, chopped yellow bell pepper, sliced red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes. Add minced garlic, olive oil, and dried Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly in the prepared baking dish. Arrange the marinated chicken cubes over the vegetables, distributing evenly.
  4. In a small bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this cheese mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the vegetables are tender. The cheese should be melted and bubbly with some golden-brown spots.
  6. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
