  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, oregano, garlic powder, and cumin on both sides.
  • Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and surround them with zucchini slices and halved cherry tomatoes.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables.

Notes

  • For added flavor, marinate the chicken with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for 1 hour or overnight before baking.
  • You can swap chicken breasts for thighs for a juicier, more flavorful result.
  • If you prefer a vegan option, replace the chicken with tofu or chickpeas and use plant-based feta cheese.
  • Add more vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or olives for a colorful and flavorful dish.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chili powder for a spicy twist.
