Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, oregano, and basil. Place them in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Arrange the sliced zucchini around the chicken. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the minced garlic over the top.
  4. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
  5. After 25 minutes, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and zucchini. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  6. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Customize the cheese or add more veggies for extra nutrition. You can prepare the dish ahead of time and refrigerate it until ready to bake.
