A bright and cheesy one-dish meal featuring tender chicken and zucchini roasted with garlic, lemon, and herbs, topped with melted mozzarella and Parmesan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 3 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, juice of (about 1 to 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Combine the chicken chunks and zucchini rounds in a large bowl.
  3. Add the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the mixture in a single layer in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  5. Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the top, then dust with grated Parmesan.
  6. Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven, let rest 3 to 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley and serve.

Notes

For a nuttier melt, swap mozzarella for part provolone. Use a meat thermometer to confirm the chicken reaches 165°F.
