To cut down on prep time, you can use store-bought rotisserie chicken, but it will change the nutritional profile of the recipe. To prepare a rotisserie chicken, first remove and discard the skin. Then, carefully separate the meat from the bones and discard any cartilage. Pull the chicken apart with your hands, dice the chicken breasts and shred the remaining meat. Leftover roast chicken is also a great option.<\/p>" } } , { "@type": "Question", "name": "Why place the baking dish on a foil-lined baking sheet?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "
Placing the baking dish on a foil-lined baking sheet helps catch any liquid that may drip from the casserole. This can occur if the casserole is too runny, so it's essential to drain as much liquid as possible from the chicken-and-vegetable mixture before mixing it into the cheese sauce.<\/p>" } } , { "@type": "Question", "name": "What should I serve with Chicken & Zucchini Casserole?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "
This casserole is a complete and satisfying meal on its own. However, if you want to make it go further, consider serving it with a salad<\/a>. Rolls<\/a> or rustic bread are also great for soaking up any delicious sauce left on your plate. Additionally, you can use the casserole as a topping over rice<\/a> or mashed potatoes<\/a>.<\/p>"

"@type": "Answer",
"text": " Allow the casserole to reach room temperature before transferring it to one or more airtight containers. It will keep well in the refrigerator for about 3 days. Alternatively, you can freeze the leftovers for about a month, but be aware that the texture of the zucchini may become mushy. To thaw, place it in the refrigerator the night before you plan to heat it. When reheating the casserole, put it in the microwave and heat it slowly, checking and stirring every 30 seconds until it reaches your desired temperature.<\/p>"
