Ingredients
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the cooked chicken, sautéed onions and garlic, sliced zucchini, shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese to the bowl. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and the remaining mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is golden brown.
Remove from oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
