CHICKEN ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE RECIPE
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!

1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 medium zucchini
1 medium yellow squash
1/2 medium sweet yellow onion

4 oz mozzarella
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375˚F.
Chop the zucchini, squash, and onion and combine.
In a large casserole dish, lay the chicken in a flat single layer and season it with the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Next layer the veggies on and then dollop the pesto over the veggies, then top with the cheeses.
Bake on the middle rack for 35-45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, 165˚F internal temp. If it starts to brown more than desired, loosely cover with foil until it is done cooking.
Serve hot and enjoy!
