Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breast (450g), diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 zucchini medium (about 1 lb), sliced into thin half-moons
  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (112g)
  • 2 eggs large
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (120g)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano and basil)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Olive oil or cooking spray (for greasing the baking dish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Dice chicken breasts into bite-sized (about 1-inch) pieces. Slice zucchini into thin half-moons.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and ½ cup plain Greek yogurt until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Add diced chicken, zucchini slices, shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper to the bowl with eggs and yogurt. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (165°F/74°C internal temperature) and the top is golden and bubbly. For a crispier top, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  7. Let the bake rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into 4 portions for serving or meal prep.

Notes

Ingredient Swap: I've definitely swapped out the chicken for ground turkey or even some crumbled firm tofu when I'm looking for a different texture; it works just as beautifully.
