This chicken and vegetable casserole recipe is a part of a Classico #FamilyFavorites hosted by the social shopper media company #CollectiveBias. This is my story with my opinions.
Chicken & Vegetable Casserole
With school just around the corner, I am all about spending my time relaxing and cutting back on complicated recipes. Which is why I decided to make such a simple dinner.
This casserole has basic ingredients that a lot of you likely have on hand or can easily pickup at your local grocery store; chicken, zucchini, yellow squash and shredded mozzarella. If you happen to have a Walmart nearby, even better!
Walmart is where I picked up my can of Classico Family Favorites Traditional sauce. The best part is that their marinara sauce has a 1/2 cup of veggies per serving and it packs a real punch of flavor.
With these basic ingredients you can whip up this low carb chicken casserole whenever you need something easy to prepare for dinner. This low carb chicken casserole combines delicious summer vegetables with marinara sauce and chunks of chicken to make a great tasting dinner for any night of the week.
To make things even tastier the casserole is topped with a layer of dried herbs and shredded mozzarella cheese.

Made this tonight and it was delicious! I may not be the norm, but I like my zucchini “mushy” so I pre-cooked it a bit in microwave before putting in casserole dish to bake. I also added sliced mushrooms since I had them…will definitely make again – Thanks for such an easy, yummy recipe! 🙂
