Slice the zucchini, tomatoes, mushrooms and red onion. Slice the chicken breasts, about ½ inch thick, in a slightly diagonal angle so that you have slightly bigger slices of chicken. Sprinkle the salt and pepper all over the chicken slices.
In a baking dish, casserole or oven-proof skillet (I used a 10inch braiser), add the crushed tomatoes and all of the spices. Mix well in the skillet and spread around evenly.
Arrange, in alternating colors, slices of chicken, tomatoes, zucchini, mushrooms, red onion, and basil in a spiral over the tomato sauce all around the baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil all over the dish, sprinkle the garlic powder over and top with the mozzarella cheese.
Place in the oven and bake for 35 minutes or until the chicken, especially around the middle of the dish, is cooked through.
