Report
This one pan za'atar chicken bake is so delicious and super easy to whip up. The chicken is marinated in lemon juice, olive oil and Middle Eastern spices and then baked to perfection with butternut squash and onion.

Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash peeled and chopped into small, bite-size pieces (about 3-4 cups)
- 1 red onion roughly chopped
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- zest of one lemon
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons Za’atar
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- zesty tahini dressing for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, za'atar, salt and pepper in a small bowl to make the marinade. Reserve 2 Tablespoons to use on the veggies.
- Coat chicken in the remaining marinade and let sit for at least 30-60 minutes and up to 24 hours; letting the chicken marinate longer will impart more flavor.
- Toss butternut and red onion in the reserved 2 Tablespoons of marinade.
- Add butternut and onion mixture to a large baking sheet (for easy cleanup, line sheet with parchment or a silicone liner). Create space between the veggies and place marinated chicken on the sheet as well. Place in the preheated oven, uncovered. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until butternut squash pieces are easily pierced with a fork and chicken is cooked through.
- Serve immediately. Drizzle chicken and veggies with tahini dressing, if using.
Notes
- Vegan option: Feel free to swap tofu for the chicken to make a vegetarian/vegan version of this recipe!
