Aluminum foil
- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 3 medium zucchinis, sliced or cubed
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)

- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional add-ins: 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
Add shredded chicken, zucchini, and half of the cheddar cheese to the sauce. Toss until everything is coated.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top. If using breadcrumbs or crushed crackers, sprinkle them over the cheese.
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or extra cheese, if desired.
