Description

A quick and delicious one-pan meal featuring baked chicken and zucchini.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast (cut into bite-size pieces)
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 1 medium zucchini (sliced and chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, cumin, sea salt, pepper, and olive oil to create the marinade.
  3. Add the chicken pieces, chopped onion, and zucchini to the marinade. Toss until well coated. For best results, let marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Serve hot with your choice of quinoa or rice.

Notes

  • Marinating the chicken for longer enhances the flavor.
