  • 1/2 cup feta cheese Prep Note: Crumbled feta disperses easily throughout the dish.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
  2. In the prepared baking dish, add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced zucchini, and diced red onion.
  3. Drizzle the mixture with olive oil, then season generously with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
  4. Layer on the Tzatziki sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables, mixing gently to coat them thoroughly.
  5. Bake uncovered for about 30 to 35 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  6. Remove from the oven and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top. Return to the oven for a few more minutes until the cheese begins to soften.
