Chicken with zucchini and potatoes baked in the oven. Zucchini is back and I start preparing lots of simple and delicious zucchini recipes. Just like the recipe I want to tell you about today: Oven-baked chicken with potatoes and zucchini. A main course prepared in just a few minutes that wins everyone at the table, even those who don’t particularly like zucchini. Just parboil the potatoes first for a few minutes as they require a longer cooking time than the other ingredients, then mix and bake with an irresistible gratin. I also added some cherry tomatoes to give freshness and moisture to the dish. I recommend you don’t miss the recipe for oven-gratinated zucchini and the recipe for zucchini meatballs in a pan.

How to Prepare Oven Baked Chicken Bites with Potatoes and Zucchini

  • First, peel the potatoes, wash them, and cut them into cubes. Soften the potatoes by plunging them into boiling water and letting them cook for 8-10 minutes. They should not be fully cooked, just softened to finish cooking in the oven.

  • Cut the chicken breast into small pieces. Wash the zucchini and cherry tomatoes. Trim the ends of the zucchini and cut them into cubes of roughly the same size. Cut the cherry tomatoes into 2 or 4 parts.

  • Place zucchini, potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and chicken in a bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and mix with 2 tablespoons to oil all the ingredients. Add the breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, a pinch of salt, and grated Parmesan. Mix well with 2 tablespoons.

  • Transfer all ingredients to an oiled baking dish. Spread any leftover coating remaining in the bowl on top. Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil on top. Cook the Chicken Bites with Zucchini and Potatoes in a hot oven at 375°F in static mode for 20 minutes.
