Low Carb Chicken Zucchini Casserole

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

  • 4 med zucchini, thinly sliced

  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 ½ cup grated mozzarella cheese

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 cup fat free half-and-half

  • 2 tsp butter

  • 1 tsp ground coriander

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Grease a 9x13 baking dish with olive oil. Arrange a layer of sliced zucchinis at the bottom of the dish, slightly overlapping. Sprinkle a portion of the sliced onions over the zucchinis. Sprinkle a bit of the grated cheese over the onions. Repeat the layers until all zucchinis, onions, and half of the cheese are used.

  3. Sprinkle the cooked chicken evenly over the layered zucchinis and cheese.

  4. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the heavy cream, dried coriander, salt, and pepper. Heat the mixture until it's warmed through.

  5. Pour the cream mixture evenly over the layered zucchinis, onions, cheese, and chicken. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

  6. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

  7. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the zucchinis are tender, the chicken is heated through, and the cheese is melted and golden.
