Ingredients
2 lbs Chicken Breast, cooked and shredded
3 medium Zucchini, sliced into half-moons
1.5 cups Greek Yogurt
2 cups Mozzarella, shredded
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tbsp Dried Oregano
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, and dried oregano in a large mixing bowl.
Fold the sliced zucchini into the chicken mixture until evenly coated with the yogurt sauce.
Grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish to prevent sticking.
Spread the chicken and zucchini mixture into the prepared dish using a spatula.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese across the top of the casserole evenly.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the cheese turns golden brown.
Rest the casserole for 10 minutes before serving to help the sauce set.
Notes
Squeeze excess water from your sliced zucchini using a clean kitchen towel before mixing to avoid a watery consistency. Use room temperature Greek yogurt to ensure even blending. This dish stores well in the refrigerator and the flavors meld together nicely the next day.
