Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°Fahrenheit (200°Celsius) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment. Cut the chicken into even cubes and chop the zucchini, red onion, and bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.
Add the chicken and vegetables to a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, then toss until everything is evenly coated.
Divide the mixture between two foil sheets, seal into packets with a small opening for steam, and bake for 25–30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Notes

Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. While dried herbs work well, a mix of fresh basil, oregano, and parsley really brings that authentic Italian aroma to life.
Cut veggies evenly. This helps them cook at the same rate, so nothing ends up undercooked or mushy while the chicken finishes perfectly.
Don’t skip the olive oil drizzle. It helps the seasoning stick and gives everything a golden, slightly crisp finish after baking.
Let it rest before serving. A few minutes of resting time lets the juices settle, keeping the chicken tender and the veggies flavorful.
