Remove chicken and set aside.

In the same skillet, add garlic, onions, and bell peppers; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in zucchini and cook for another 3 minutes.

Add tomatoes, black olives, herbs de Provence, and bay leaves; mix well.

Return chicken to the skillet and pour in white wine.

Season with salt and black pepper; bring to a simmer.

Cover and cook on low heat for 30-35 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

Remove the lid and cook for an additional 10 minutes to reduce the sauce.

Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
