Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with olive oil.
- In a medium bowl, combine oregano, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the chicken pieces in the spice mixture until well coated.
Cooking
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden. Remove chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Assembly
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and Greek yogurt until smooth. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Return the seared chicken to the skillet and stir to combine with the onion and garlic mixture. Remove from heat.
- Layer half of the sliced zucchini in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread half of the chicken-onion mixture over the zucchini. Pour half of the yogurt-egg mixture evenly on top.
- Sprinkle with half of the shredded mozzarella and half of the Parmesan.
- Repeat with the remaining zucchini slices, chicken mixture, yogurt-egg mix, finishing with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
- Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or basil, if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
This dish can be stored for 3-4 days in the fridge. Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave. For variations, try swapping the chicken for chickpeas for a plant-based version or adding different veggies like spinach or bell peppers.
