Mediterranean Chicken and Zucchini
Paris Klees
I am one of those people who think that eggs can be too "eggy" and chicken can be too "chickeny," but this recipe... I can have it every day and not get sick of it. It is THAT good!
This recipe is so easy to make, it is perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep for the week ahead! It goes great with rice, but you can choose which carbohydrate you add.
While this recipe is very simple, you can easily customize it with additional ingredients. This recipe would be great with artichokes, carrots, pesto pasta, leeks, sumac salad... so many options!

INSTRUCTIONS:
Chicken Instructions:
- Cut the chicken in half horizontally, and add it to a baking dish with olive oil.

- Add za'atar, lemon, and garlic sauce to a small bowl and mix to combine.
- Drizzle over chicken, making sure to cover all of it.
- Bake at 350° for 20 - 30 minutes, checking the temperature before removing.

Zucchini Instructions:
- Wash the zucchini in a water and vinegar solution and rinse.

- Add all other ingredients to the pan and toss to combine.
