Serves: 4

2 c. well cooked and sliced zucchini
2 c. chopped cooked chicken

Pour sauce over casserole. Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese; sprinkle over top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Serve over noodles or macaroni.

Tips: This meal was very tasty and really not as much work as it seems. It is great if you have a lot of left over zucchini from your garden. The white sauce does take some time to thicken, maybe 10 minutes or so. I also shared this recipe at A Southern Fairytale's Mouthwatering Mondays & Life as MOM's Ultimate Recipe Swap.
