A quick and nutritious weeknight dinner featuring tender chicken and seasonal zucchini.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 medium zucchinis (diced)
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley (chopped)
  • 2 cups cooked rice (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the bite-sized chicken pieces with the diced zucchini and onion. Toss gently to mix.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the mixture. Add minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is well coated.
  4. Transfer the seasoned mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it into a single layer.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the zucchini is tender.
  6. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh herbs and an extra pinch of smoked paprika. Serve over warm cooked rice.

Notes

Feel free to swap chicken with turkey or use bell peppers instead of zucchini for a different flavor twist.
