- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 medium zucchinis sliced into half moons
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 yellow bell pepper diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved

- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken breast, zucchini, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and garlic.
Drizzle with olive oil and add oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mixture and toss once more. Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish and spread out evenly.
Sprinkle the feta cheese over the top of the chicken and vegetables.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before sprinkling with fresh parsley.
Serve hot with your favorite sides or as is for a lighter option.
