Creating Chicken Zucchini Bake is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps to get started:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prep Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or oil.
3. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Combine Vegetables: In a bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Toss with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, mixing well to coat.
5. Layer Ingredients: In the prepared baking dish, layer half of the zucchini mixture, followed by the cooked chicken, and then the remaining zucchini on top.
6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the top.
7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden, and the vegetables are tender.
8. Garnish: Once out of the oven, allow it to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
