Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 medium Zucchini
• 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Red onion
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 2

Slice the zucchini into thin rounds and halve the cherry tomatoes. Cut the red onion into thin wedges. Set the vegetables aside.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts onto a cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels. Brush each breast with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning blend evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

Step 5

Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Scatter the zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red onion around the chicken.

Step 6

Sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the vegetables, then top the entire dish with shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven.

Step 8

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving. Serve hot and enjoy this low-carb, flavorful meal.
