For this quick-to-prep (and even quicker to clean up) meal, you’ll roast Italian-seasoned chicken with an irresistibly crunchy, cheesy panko topping in one oven-ready tray and garlicky zucchini with grape tomatoes in a second tray. The veggies are tossed with our herby basil paste, then drizzled with a sweet and tangy balsamic glaze. Serve with crusty garlic bread and enjoy the mmm's at the table!

Instructions

2
  • Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4) in a small bowl; set aside to soften. Wash and dry produce.

  • Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons.

  • In a separate small bowl, combine panko, Italian cheese blend, half the Italian Seasoning (you'll use the rest in the next step), a drizzle of olive oil (large drizzle for 4), salt, and pepper.

3
  • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with remaining Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper.

  • Place chicken in one oven-ready tray (for 4 servings, divide between two trays). Brush tops of chicken with sour cream. Mound with panko mixture, pressing to adhere (no need to coat the undersides!).

4
  • In remaining oven-ready tray, toss zucchini and tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, ½ tsp garlic powder (you'll use the rest in the next step), salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, place zucchini in one of the remaining trays and tomatoes in the other; use a drizzle of olive oil, ½ tsp garlic powder, salt, and pepper for each tray.)

  • Place trays side by side on top rack (be sure your oven has preheated!); bake until chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender, 20-25 minutes. (For 4, bake chicken on top rack and veggies on middle rack, swapping rack positions halfway through.)

5
  • When chicken and veggies are almost done, to bowl with softened butter, add remaining garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

  • Halve and toast ciabatta.

  • Spread cut sides with garlic butter. Cut each half on a diagonal.

6
  • Once veggies have finished roasting, add basil paste; stir to combine. (For 4 servings, combine roasted veggies with basil paste in one tray; alternatively, transfer veggies to a large bowl, then stir in basil paste.)

7
  • Divide chicken and veggies between plates in separate sections. Drizzle veggies with as much balsamic glaze as you like. Serve with garlic bread and chili flakes on the side.
