Whenever I take this casserole to a potluck or serve it to guests, I get requests for the recipe.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This zucchini casserole is jam-packed with veggies and just enough chicken to make it an all-in-one meal. When zucchini is plentiful during the summer and at its best, add this simple casserole recipe to your dinner lineup. Diced zucchini and shredded carrots are slightly sweet. They're mixed with savory and creamy cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Adding chopped chicken breasts is what helps make this a whole meal rather than just a side dish. Then, it's topped with chicken-flavored stuffing mix that crisps while baking. We opted to add the optional shredded cheddar cheese, but this casserole would be just as delicious without it.
