Notes

  • Season the chicken well before baking for better flavor throughout the dish.
  • Slice the zucchini evenly so it cooks at the same rate.
  • Avoid overbaking the zucchini so it stays tender, not mushy.
  • If there is extra liquid from the vegetables, stir gently before serving rather than baking too long.
  • If the sauce becomes too thick, add a small splash of milk before serving.
  • Let the bake rest for a few minutes before serving so the sauce settles.
