Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
Toss the diced chicken with lemon juice, olive oil, and herbs until evenly coated.
Let the chicken sit for 30 minutes.
Gently stir in the uncooked rice, grated zucchini, and chicken broth until well mixed.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove from oven and fluff the rice with a fork.

Notes

For more intense flavor, consider marinating the chicken longer than 30 minutes. You can also customize the dish with your favorite herbs or vegetables.
