One-Bowl Chicken-Zucchini Stuffing Casserole

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

This easy casserole takes only minutes to throw together and it's all mixed in one bowl! I like to add in some frozen peas and/or some drained sliced mushroons, cooked turkey may be used in place of chicken, you may omit the zucchini and use another veggie of your choice, frozen broccoli works well, you may also sprinkle grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese on the last 5 minutes of baking if desired ---- *note* because of the high sodium content in the stuffing mix there is no need to add in any extra salt ;-)

This was delicious! I'd post a picture but we ate it already ( I made it yesterday). I added a 1/2 cup each of frozen corn and peas. I also used plain yogurt instead of the sour cream because I didn't have any.
The hubby informed me I could, "make this every day". I think it would also be great with leftover pork chops instead of chicken. Our new favorite casserole.

I absolutely love this recipe. It's quite easy to make, and the flavor is really great! My whole family loves it. I like to try new things so I don't make repeat dinners often, but this is on the "several times a month" list by family request.
