Description

A wholesome, cheesy bake with tender chicken, fresh zucchini, and juicy cherry tomatoes, perfect for an easy family dinner.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken

  • 3 medium zucchinis, sliced

  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.

  2. Slice the zucchinis and halve the cherry tomatoes; shred the chicken if not done.

  3. Layer half of the zucchini in the baking dish.

  4. Spread half of the chicken over the zucchini and scatter half of the cherry tomatoes.

  5. Repeat layers with remaining zucchini, chicken, and tomatoes.

  6. Sprinkle salt, pepper, oregano, and basil evenly over the layers.

  7. Top with mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.

  8. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

  9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For less watery zucchini, lightly salt slices and pat dry before layering. Great served with a green salad or garlic bread. Leftovers store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze unbaked for up to 2 months.
