Notes

Squeeze the grated zucchini and potatoes very well to prevent excess moisture. Finely chopped chicken cooks more evenly than large pieces. Let the finished casserole rest before cutting so it firms up and holds its shape.
This easy baked zucchini, potato and chicken casserole is hearty, juicy, and full of flavour. Grated vegetables create a soft and tender base, finely chopped chicken adds protein, breadcrumbs help the mixture hold together, and a layer of tomato and melted cheese finishes everything beautifully. It is an excellent family-style recipe because all the ingredients are simple, inexpensive, and easy to prepare. The most important part is controlling the moisture from the zucchini and potatoes. If you remove the excess liquid properly, the casserole will bake evenly instead of becoming watery.
