Tips for the Mediterranean chicken bake recipe

• We cut chicken breasts horizontally to make them thinner and quicker to cook. We count 1 cutlet per serving but it depends on the size of the chicken breasts you have got.
• Add half a teaspoon of Cayenne pepper to the seasoning for a nice kick of heat!

How to serve the chicken bake

If you’ve packed the chicken casserole with veggies, you can serve the Mediterranean chicken bake on its own. Otherwise, we love having the chicken casserole with a crisp salad, on top of couscous, rice, or – if you’d like to stay low-carb/keto-friendly – cauliflower rice.

How to keep the chicken bake leftovers?

You can keep any chicken and zucchini bake leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days in your refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave or covered in the oven at 350ºF (180ºC) until heated through.
