Mediterranean Chicken Bake

Ingredients

20 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast (pound thin or use thin-sliced breasts for faster cooking)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tsp Italian seasoning
14 oz artichoke hearts, quartered and drained
1 large zucchini, sliced and quartered
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ cup olive oil
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2–3 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
½ tsp salt
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

Prepare the Oven and Chicken:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place chicken in a large baking dish or sheet pan (line with foil for easier cleanup if desired). Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Layer the Vegetables:

Arrange cherry tomatoes, artichokes, and zucchini around and on top of the chicken. Concentrate more artichokes on the chicken to let the flavors sink in. Keep the ingredients mostly in a single layer for even cooking.
Make the Dressing:

Whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and garlic. Pour evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
Bake:

Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Finish and Serve:

Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top before serving. Enjoy warm!

Storage, Make-Ahead, and Variations

Refrigerator: Store leftover chicken and vegetables in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
Reheat: Drizzle with excess juices, cover, and warm in the oven at 325°F or microwave at 50% power.
Make-Ahead: Prep chicken and veggies a day or two in advance for quick baking at dinner time.
Grill Option: Turn the recipe into foil grill packs with your choice of vegetables. Grill over medium-high heat for 12–15 minutes, or bake at 450°F for 20–25 minutes.
