Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz boxed stuffing mix
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 4 diced zucchini (about 45 cups bite-size pieces)
  • 3 boneless chicken breasts, cooked and diced
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • 10 1/2 oz canned cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Combine stuffing mix and melted butter in a large bowl.
  3. Set aside 1/2 cup of the mixture for topping.
  4. Add zucchini, cooked chicken, mozzarella cheese, cream of chicken soup, diced onion, and sour cream to the remaining stuffing mixture.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly in a 9×13 inch glass pan sprayed with cooking spray.
  6. Sprinkle the reserved stuffing mix on top.
  7. Bake uncovered for 40-50 minutes until cooked through and golden brown.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream or use low-sodium soup. Rotisserie chicken works for quick prep. If zucchini releases excess water, squeeze lightly with a towel before mixing. Make ahead by assembling up to a day in advance and refrigerating; bake just before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. If the topping browns too fast, cover loosely with foil.
