Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 medium zucchinis, sliced
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or basil for garnish
- A squeeze of lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown; this step locks in flavor and moisture.
- Add garlic, cherry tomatoes, and sliced zucchinis around the chicken in the skillet. Drizzle everything with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with extra herbs if desired.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs like parsley and basil for maximum flavor and health benefits.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper browning of the chicken.
- You can add olives or feta cheese for extra Mediterranean flavor.
- Adjust seasoning according to taste preferences.
