1/4 cup quality Italian dressing

1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced into 1/2 moons
1-2 roma tomatoes ,  sliced into 1/2 moons
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

2 medium avocados, diced (optional)

1TB olive oil

garlic powder
basil
salt and pepper
(all to taste, start with 1/4 tsp each)

2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded     


Place sliced chicken in a large casserole dish, toss with Italian dressing and marinate for 30 minutes.










Gently toss the vegetables(except avocado) in with marinated chicken making sure they are distributed evenly.


Sprinkle all the spices/herbs evenly over the top.












Drizzle with olive oil and top with cheese.













Cover with foil (I spray cooking spray on the underside to prevent cheese from sticking. Bake in 350 degree oven 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, uncover and cook 10-15 minutes more until the cheese is browning.










Allow to set for 10 minutes before serving.














Top with diced avocado and enjoy!
