Description

A simple, satisfying dish balancing lean chicken, fresh vegetables, and melty cheese for a low-carb, protein-packed meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with oil. Slice zucchinis into thin rounds and arrange in the dish. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces, seasoning with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook seasoned chicken until browned (about 5–7 minutes), then add cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread evenly over zucchini slices in the baking dish.
  4. Layer cooked chicken and cherry tomatoes on top of the yogurt-covered zucchini, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the dish. Bake for 25–30 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
