Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 medium zucchinis sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper diced
  • 1 red onion sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large baking dish, arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchinis, diced bell peppers, sliced red onion, minced garlic, cherry tomatoes, and kalamata olives.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with oregano, basil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
  • Distribute the vegetable mixture around and over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
  • Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the chicken and vegetables.
  • Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese evenly across the top.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (reaches an internal temperature of 165°F/75°C) and the vegetables are tender.
  • Once done, remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
