Chicken Zucchini Bake is a wholesome, flavorful casserole that brings together tender chicken, fresh zucchini, and a blend of herbs and cheese in a comforting, oven-baked dish. It’s light yet satisfying, making it perfect for a balanced weeknight dinner or meal prep.
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or cubed
2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
1/2 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and zucchini, cooking for another 5-6 minutes until just tender. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and basil.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, sautéed zucchini mixture, sour cream, beaten eggs, mozzarella, and half the Parmesan cheese. Mix well to combine.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
You can add mushrooms or spinach for extra vegetables, or substitute mozzarella with cheddar for a different flavor. This bake holds up well in the fridge and makes great leftovers for lunch or dinner the next day.
