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!

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.
