Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 medium zucchinis (sliced)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced zucchini and cook for about 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces, sautéed zucchini, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
  5. Gently fold in half of your mozzarella cheese into the chicken and zucchini mixture.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top, followed by a generous layer of breadcrumbs.
  8. Place your baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the top is golden and bubbly.
  9. Once out of the oven, let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
