A delicious and easy high-protein chicken zucchini bake that combines tender chicken, fresh zucchini, and creamy cheeses for a nutritious meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
  • 3 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ small onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion for 2–3 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. Add the sliced zucchini and cook for 4–5 minutes, just until slightly softened. Drain off any excess liquid.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, eggs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. Stir in the shredded chicken, sautéed zucchini, and onion mixture.
  6. Transfer everything to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan over the top.
  8. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until hot, bubbly, and golden on top.
  9. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For an even higher-protein version, use 2 cups cottage cheese and reduce the Greek yogurt to ¼ cup.
