• 3 tsp Italian seasoning, divided
• 1 tsp garlic powder, divided
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1 small sweet onion, sliced
• Zest of one lemon plus more for serving
• 2 medium zucchini, sliced and halved into half moon shapes
• 1/3 cup finely shredded parmesan, or more to taste

Directions:

1. Mix together salt, pepper, 2 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, onion powder and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Add in diced chicken and toss well to coat the chicken.
2. Heat 2 TBS olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet and then add chicken and cook 3-5 minutes then flip and cook opposite side until chicken has cooked through (center of larger pieces should register 165 degrees), about 3 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate.
