Mediterranean Chicken Zucchini Bake
BY CHRISTINA CHERRIER www.eatwell101.com
To make the chicken zucchini bake: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Add the four chicken breast cutlets to a shallow plate and season with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, instant chicken stock, salt, and pepper.
Transfer the chicken breast to a baking dish and top with onion, sliced zucchini, and tomato. Sprinkle the veggies with salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
Top the chicken breast and vegetables with shredded Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese.
Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake uncovered for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is done. Broil for the last 2-3 minutes if you like.
Remove the chicken casserole from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Serve the Mediterranean chicken zucchini bake over cauliflower rice, rice, or couscous. Enjoy!
We cut chicken breasts horizontally to make them thinner and quicker to cook. We count 1 cutlet per serving but it depends on the size of the chicken breasts you have got.
Add half a teaspoon of Cayenne pepper to the seasoning for a nice kick of heat!
HOW TO SERVE THE CHICKEN BAKE
If you’ve packed the chicken casserole with veggies, you can serve the Mediterranean chicken bake on its own. Otherwise, we love having the chicken casserole with a crisp salad, on top of couscous, rice, or – if you’d like to stay low-carb/keto-friendly – cauliflower rice.
HOW TO KEEP THE CHICKEN BAKE LEFTOVERS?
You can keep any chicken and zucchini bake leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days in your refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave or cover in the oven at 350ºF (180ºC) until heated through.
