Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded to 1/2 inch thick
1 cup favorite Italian dressing
2 medium zucchini sliced in half rounds
1 lb baby potatoes sliced in half
8 small tomatoes halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
chopped fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, rosemary, and basil

Instructions

Place the chicken on a cutting board and cover it with plastic wrap. Pound it to about 1/2 inch thick using a meat mallet.
Place the chicken in a bowl and pour the Italian dressing over it. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate for 30-60 minutes. If marinating longer place the bowl in the refrigerator.
Toss the zucchini and potatoes with olive oil and Italian seasoning.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Using tongs, remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, letting them drip for a minute back into the bowl. Place the chicken on the baking sheet. Discard the marinade.
Arrange the vegetables around the chicken breasts on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the chicken and veggies with salt or seasoned salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees and the vegetables are tender.

Notes

Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts and your favorite homemade or bottled Italian dressing.
Cover the bowl while marinating and refrigerate if marinating longer than an hour. Discard used marinade.
Use baby potatoes or cut regular potatoes into 1-inch chunks.
I had some Campari tomatoes that I needed to use up, but you can use grape or cherry tomatoes. However, do not cut them in half.
Other veggies that work well are green beans, bell peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, and yellow squash.
Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken breast.
