Creating a delicious Mediterranean Chicken Zucchini Bake is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your dish bakes evenly.
2. Prep the Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces, olive oil, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the chicken well.
3. Prepare the Vegetables: In another bowl, mix the sliced zucchini, bell pepper, onion, garlic, and cherry tomatoes. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
4. Combine Ingredients: Layer the chicken mixture in a baking dish, followed by the vegetable mixture on top.
5. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20-25 minutes.
6. Add Cheese: Remove the foil and sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
7. Garnish: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
8. Serve: Serve hot straight from the baking dish for a comforting meal.

By following these steps, you’ll create a vibrant and flavorful dish that’s sure to impress anyone you share it with!
