Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, sliced zucchini, sliced red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes.
  3. Add the minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated.
  4. Pour the mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish or a large oven-safe skillet. Spread it out in an even layer.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly browned.
  6. Remove from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley and feta cheese, if desired.
  7. Serve hot.

Notes

  • This dish is excellent for meal prep. Let it cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
  • You can substitute chicken breasts for thighs, but adjust the cooking time to ensure they don’t dry out.
