This chicken zucchini casserole is the best easy dinner for busy weeknights because it only has a handful of simple ingredients, and all bakes in one dish so clean up is a breeze! It is full of fresh, healthy flavors and is tasty and light but still very filling. If you are looking to use up some zucchini or squash then this might just be the best way! I really love to cook, but some days dinner is just such a chore. Particularly on the second week of school. The first week we are all good. We are organized and well planned. Then the second week happens and I was so wrapped up in the first week that I kinda forgot I had to keep doing all of this week after week!
Casserole dish to the rescue. I am a huge fan of easy chicken dinners all made in one dish like these Baked Chicken Fajitas. I love that you can take chicken, toss it with some herbs or spices, add some veggies, top with cheese and have dinner prepped and in the oven in 10-20 minutes, without destroying the kitchen. This chicken and zucchini recipe does the same thing but with new fresh flavors.
