Marinating the chicken
Preheat your oven to 200°C. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, grated parmesan, tomato paste, mayonaisse, chilli flakes, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, lemon zest, and a sprinkle each of salt and pepper. Let the ingredients dance and mingle, ensuring the chicken is well-coated with this flavor-packed blend.
Into a baking dish, pour the rice and zucchini. Gently pour over the chicken stock, letting it seep through. Now, place the marinated chicken gracefully atop and bake covered for about 15 minutes. Then uncover the baking dish and continue baking for about 20-25 minutes until the rice if fluffy and chicken is juicy and cooked through.

Notes
f you prefer other proteins, this recipe can easily be adapted for turkey, tofu, or even fish fillets. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
Feel free to replace or mix in other vegetables such as bell peppers, eggplant, or broccoli for added color and flavor.
Store any leftover chicken, rice, and zucchini in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat leftovers in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water if necessary to prevent dryness. Alternatively, use a microwave but be cautious as it can make the rice a bit mushy.
While this dish is best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze leftovers. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
