Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 9x13-inch casserole or baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a small mixing bowl, combine Italian seasoning, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken, zucchini, tomatoes, onion, garlic, and feta cheese. Drizzle olive oil over vegetable mixture and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle seasoning blend over vegetable mixture and toss to coat.
Transfer vegetable mixture to prepared casserole dish. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (165°F) and vegetables are tender.
Remove from oven and sprinkle top with mozzarella cheese. Return to oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, until cheese is melted.
Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped basil and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
