Description
A comforting one-pan dish featuring tender chicken, roasted zucchini, cherry tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese, infused with Mediterranean flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts (about 12 oz / 340 g total), skinless and boneless
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (about 150 g)
- 1/2 cup olives, pitted (about 65–70 g) — Kalamata recommended
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled (about 75 g)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large baking dish or rimmed sheet pan, arrange the chicken breasts and add the sliced zucchini, halved cherry tomatoes, olives, and crumbled feta.
- Drizzle the olive oil over everything, sprinkle the dried oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently so the vegetables and chicken are coated but the feta remains somewhat crumbled on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
- Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes before serving so juices redistribute.
Notes
For better texture, drain excess liquid if zucchini releases moisture. Use a good-quality extra virgin olive oil for enhanced flavor.
