This recipe is an unexpected pleasure -- I had my doubts at first, but it came out great! I used half zucchini and half yellow squash. I took the advice of another reviewer and mixed the cheese in with the rest of the ingredients. Didn't need any of the top. I sauteed the onion and garlic and after a couple of minutes, added 1/3 cup of good-quality dry sherry to the pan. I also added 1/2 T. curry powder. Those two extra ingredients, I think, put this dish over the top. BTW, I didn't pre-cook the zucchini, and that was a mistake. It had to cook it a lot longer because of it. Well worth the wait, though!

I liked the flavor of this and that the inclusion of the chicken helped me stretch my zucchini bounty into a full one dish meal. I also skipped the Accent and stirred salt into the dish. I decreased butter to 1-2 Tbsp and stirred it into the casserole before topping with just cheese. I thought this was missing a crunchy component, though. I pulled out a box of Ritz for my husband and I to eat with it tonight, but he said that when I try this again I should top it with french fried onions. Either way, I plan to bake it with some kind of crust ingredient next time (crackers, french fried onions, or bread crumbs). Thanks for the recipe!

This was very good! I sauteed the chicken, onion and zucchini in a pan with butter. I also used sharp cheddar cheese. I mixed half of the cheese in the casserole and sprinkled the rest on top. Everyone in my family loved it. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.

Great casserole! Like other reviewers, I did not use Accent seasoning. Instead, I added extra salt. And I used only half the butter. Next time I make this I will add more salt and other seasonings and reduce the butter to about 1 T. I don't like to *see* the butter in my food. :-) Overall, a great recipe with lots of possibilities for variations.
