Creating the Quick Rotisserie Chicken Zucchini Casserole is straightforward. Follow these steps for an effortless dish:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
2. Prepare Vegetables: Slice the zucchinis and halve the cherry tomatoes, setting them aside.
3. Mix Cheeses: In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, garlic powder, and dried Italian herbs. Mix well until smooth.
4. Layer Ingredients: Spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture on the bottom of the greased baking dish.
5. Add Zucchini: Layer half of the sliced zucchini evenly over the cheese mixture.
6. Add Chicken: Sprinkle half of the shredded rotisserie chicken on top of the zucchini.
7. Tomato Layer: Evenly distribute half of the cherry tomatoes over the chicken.
8. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process using the remaining ingredients, finishing with a layer of remaining mozzarella cheese.
9. Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the top for added flavor.
10. Bake: Transfer the assembled casserole to the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
11. Cool: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. This helps set the layers.
