This dish was born one evening when I needed to use up a few garden zucchinis and some leftover chicken—and oh my, it turned into a family favorite overnight! The bacon adds a smoky crunch, while the zucchini keeps it fresh and tender. Creamy, cheesy, and baked to golden perfection—this is one of those meals that makes the whole house smell like love.
