Ingredients

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts: 2 (6-8 ounces each)
  • Zucchini: 1 medium, sliced
  • Yellow Squash: 1 medium, sliced
  • Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Dried Italian herbs: 1 teaspoon
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, toss the sliced zucchini and squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder and Italian herbs.
  3. Step 3: Place the vegetables on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Step 4: Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken breasts on the baking sheet alongside the vegetables.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Serve this dish with a side of quinoa or brown rice for a complete and balanced meal.
  • To prevent sticking and ensure even cooking, consider lining the baking sheet with parchment paper.
