  2. Toss the zucchini, mushrooms and garlic with the oil and salt in a baking dish.
  3. Set the chicken on top, spoon the crushed tomato over it and sprinkle the basil.
  4. Bake 20 minutes, then top with the mozzarella and parmesan and bake 5 to 7 minutes more until the cheese is bubbling and the chicken reads 165°F.

  5. Rest the dish 5 minutes so the juices settle.
  6. To keep it: cool it within 2 hours, portion it into a shallow lidded container, refrigerate up to 4 days, then reheat it covered for 2 to 3 minutes until steaming and 165°F in the center.

Fix It: If the vegetables release a lot of liquid, spoon it off before the cheese goes on.

Microwave
  1. Add the ingredients you would cook together to a microwave safe bowl along with their liquid.
  2. Cover loosely and microwave in one minute bursts, stirring between each, until hot through.
