Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°Fahrenheit (200°Celsius) and place a baking sheet inside to warm. Cut chicken into cubes and dice zucchini, bell pepper, and onion into bite-sized pieces.
Add chicken and veggies to a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and toss until evenly coated.
Divide the mixture between two large foil sheets, seal tightly with space for steam, place on the preheated baking sheet, and bake for 25–30 minutes until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.

Notes

Cut vegetables evenly: Chop your vegetables into similar sizes so they bake at the same speed. This helps everything come out tender without some pieces being undercooked.
Season generously: Don’t be shy with Italian herbs like oregano, basil, and rosemary. A good seasoning mix is what gives the chicken and veggies that rich Mediterranean flavor.
Bake at the right temperature: Keep your oven at the right temperature for the chicken and nicely roasted vegetables. This range allows the flavors to meld without drying out the meat.
