Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees (220 degrees C).
  2. 2 Heat oil in an oven-safe 12 inch deep sided skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink, about4 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  3. 3 Add onion to skillet. Cook and stir until tender, about 3 minutes.
  4. 4 Stir in garlic, oregano, and crushed red pepper. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
  5. 5 Stir in rice. Cook and stir 1 minute.
  6. 6 Add zucchini and salt. Cook and stir until any excess liquid is released, 5 minutes.
  7. 7 Add broth, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Bring to boiling. Return chicken to skillet. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until rice is tender, 20 minutes.
  8. 8 Fold in feta cheese, 1/2 cup of the provolone, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, and the mint. If desired, at this point, you can transfer the mixture to a 2-quart baking dish (or leave in oven safe skillet). Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup provolone on top.
  9. 9 Bake until heated through and cheese melts, 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.
