Description

A creamy and comforting bake featuring tender chicken breast and fresh zucchini slices topped with melted mozzarella cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into rounds
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375F (190C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, then remove chicken from the pan.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Stir in softened cream cheese and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the mixture is smooth and melted.
  5. Return the browned chicken to the skillet and add the sliced zucchini. Toss to coat everything in the cream sauce.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown and the chicken is fully cooked.
