Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 2 medium zucchinis (sliced into half-moons)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- ½ red onion (thinly sliced)

- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
