Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken thighs optional
  • 2 zucchinis spiralised or ribboned with veg peeler
  • 1/2 punnet mini roma tomatoes halved
  • 1 small red capsicum 2cm dice
  • 3 cloves garlic roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 100 grams feta
  • 1/5 teaspoons salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200C / 392F and grease a medium sized baking dish.
  • In the baking dish, toss together all ingredients except the zucchini, pine nuts and basil leaves. Spread out evenly with the chicken (if using) on top, and bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • While the dish is baking, make noodles out of your zucchini by using a spiraliser or use a vegetable peeler to create wider ribbons.

  • Once the capsicum and chicken is cooked through, toss with the zucchini noodles, pine nuts and fresh basil and serve immediately.
