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.
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
2 medium zucchinis, sliced
4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup grated Parmesan
1 egg
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, mix sour cream, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Stir in chicken, zucchini slices, bacon, cheddar, and half the Parmesan.
Pour mixture into a greased baking dish.
Top with remaining Parmesan and bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Add a handful of spinach or mushrooms for extra veggies.
Use a rotisserie chicken to save time.
Great for meal prep—just reheat and enjoy!
