Step-by-Step Instructions for High Protein Chicken Zucchini Bake
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with olive oil.
- In a mixing bowl, combine oregano, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss chicken pieces in this mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken pieces for 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Add chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs and Greek yogurt until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
- Mix the seared chicken with the sautéed onion and garlic.
- Layer half of the zucchini in the greased dish, followed by the chicken mixture, half of the creamy mixture, and half of the cheeses. Repeat layers.
- Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is golden and bubbling.
- Let the bake rest for 5 minutes, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm.
