Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make chicken, zucchini and cheese casserole? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Choose young zucchini. Because they have a thin skin, it is not necessary to peel it. If you use an old zucchini, remove the skin and seeds. Rinse the chicken fillet under running water and dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Step 2
Cut small zucchini into equal slices about 3-5 mm thick. Cut a large zucchini in half, remove large seeds and cut into half rings.

Step 3

Step 3
Chop the tomatoes. Choose tomatoes that are firm and fleshy. Juicy, soft tomatoes will be difficult to cut neatly and when baked they will turn into mush and also add excess liquid to the dish.

Step 4

Step 4
Cut the chicken fillet into small pieces. Place in a single layer in a baking dish.

Step 5

Step 5
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and spread on top of the chicken.

Step 6

Step 6
Next, place a layer of zucchini on top of the chicken. Salt and pepper the zucchini to taste.

Step 7

Step 7
Prepare the fill. Beat chicken eggs into a suitable container, add sour cream and salt. Stir with a fork or whisk until smooth.

Step 8

Step 8
Pour the egg-sour cream mixture over the zucchini and meat.

Step 9

Step 9
Place tomato slices on top.

Step 10

Step 10
Wash the dill in advance, dry with paper towels and sprinkle on top of the casserole. Place the casserole dish in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. Bake for approximately 30 minutes. Focus on your oven — your temperature and time may differ from mine.

Step 11

Step 11
Grate the hard cheese on a coarse grater. After half an hour, take out the casserole, sprinkle cheese on top, and garnish with cherry tomatoes if desired. Return the casserole back to the oven for another 10-15 minutes. Since everyoneʼs oven is different, check the doneness of the meat and zucchini. They should be easy to pierce with a knife and be soft.

Step 12

Step 12
Serve the finished dish warm with herbs, your favorite sauces, and olives. The next day, the casserole can be heated in the microwave or in the oven; it will not lose its taste. Bon appetit!
