Description
This delicious and easy chicken bake combines tender, seasoned chicken with fresh zucchini, crispy turkey bacon, and a cheesy topping. It’s a simple yet flavorful dish that’s perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 0.5 oz dry Ranch seasoning (½ packet)
- 1 zucchini, thinly sliced
- 6 strips turkey bacon, cooked, drained, and chopped
- ½ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a casserole dish.
Place the thinly sliced chicken breasts in the dish, spreading them out evenly.
Sprinkle the dry Ranch seasoning mix over the chicken, ensuring even coverage.
Arrange the sliced zucchini over the seasoned chicken in an even layer.
Sprinkle the chopped turkey bacon over the zucchini.
In a small bowl, combine the shredded Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Evenly distribute the cheese mixture over the bacon.
Bake uncovered for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
For a golden, crispy topping, broil for the last 2-3 minutes (optional).
Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the juices to settle.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of garlic powder or Italian seasoning.
- Swap zucchini for yellow squash or add mushrooms for variety.
- Serve with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
