Ingredients to make the baked chicken with zucchini and potatoes

  • 2 zucchini (large, fresh and firm)
  • 1.1 lbs potatoes (large)
  • 2.2 lbs chicken breast (sliced or whole)
  • 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • 1.8 oz cheese (such as Grana or Parmesan, grated (about 1/2 cup))
  • to taste rosemary
  • to taste black pepper
  • to taste salt
  • to taste extra virgin olive oil

Oven-baked chicken with potatoes and zucchini: preparation…

  • Wash the zucchini and cut them into pieces that are not too small; wash, peel and cut the potatoes as well.

    Gather them in a baking dish, season with salt and pepper, drizzle generously with oil and mix.

    Bake in a conventional oven at 356°F for about 30 minutes.

  • Cut the chicken slices into strips, or cut the breast into chunks, place them in a bowl, add a drizzle of oil and mix.

    Add about 3 tablespoons of breadcrumbs and the grated cheese, mix so that the coating adheres well.

    Remove the zucchini and potatoes from the oven, test them with a fork and check the cooking; if they are almost done add the breaded chicken and any remaining coating from the bowl, mix and return to the oven for another 15 minutes, stirring at least a couple of times.

    Take out of the oven when the chicken is cooked and a nice golden gratin has formed; do not keep it in the oven too long to avoid drying out the meat.

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly and serve while still warm.
