  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 27 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 3 medium zucchinis, sliced into rounds
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh basil for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating the Chicken Zucchini Bake is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
3. Slice Zucchini: While the oven preheats, slice the zucchinis into even rounds for uniform cooking.
4. Mix Cream and Seasoning: In a bowl, combine the heavy cream with Italian seasoning and mix well.
5. Layer Ingredients: In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer the zucchini slices on the bottom. Add the seasoned chicken on top of the zucchini, making sure to distribute it evenly.
6. Add Tomatoes: Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes over the chicken.
7. Pour Cream Mixture: Pour the seasoned cream mixture over the entire dish, ensuring everything is well-coated.
8. Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top of the cream mixture.
9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
10. Cool Slightly: Allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the layers to set and make serving easier.
