Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken fillets, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 half teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 half teaspoon salt
- 1 half teaspoon black pepper
- 2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large eggs
- 1 half cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking dish with olive oil.
- In a bowl, mix oregano, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken pieces and toss until evenly coated.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Sear chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.

- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and Greek yogurt until smooth. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
- Return chicken to the skillet with onion and garlic, stir to combine, then remove from heat.
- Layer half of the zucchini slices in the baking dish. Add half of the chicken mixture and pour over half of the yogurt mixture.
- Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Repeat layers with remaining zucchini, chicken mixture, yogurt mixture, and finish with remaining cheese.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake another 10 to 15 minutes until cheese is melted and golden.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.
Notes
- Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
