Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Breasts

For this recipe, you’ll need 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. These provide lean protein that keeps you full. They cook evenly in the oven and absorb the flavors of your seasonings beautifully.

Zucchini

Use 2 medium-sized zucchinis, sliced into half-moons. Zucchini adds moisture to the dish while providing vitamins A and C. Its mild flavor pairs well with the spiced chicken.

Olive Oil

You’ll need 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. This healthy fat helps to keep the chicken moist during baking while adding richness to the overall flavor.

Garlic Powder

Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder for a savory kick. It infuses the dish with garlicky goodness without the hassle of fresh garlic preparation.

Italian Seasoning

A blend of 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning adds depth to your dish. This mix typically contains herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme that complement both chicken and zucchini.

Salt & Pepper

Season with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper according to taste. These staples enhance all flavors in the dish, making every bite enjoyable.
