Deconstructed Stuffed Zucchini Casserole, Invented by Marya

1. Peel, remove seeds, dice 3 zucchini's & saute with 1/2 an onion, diced, & 1 clove minced garlic in olive oil; salt/pepper well.
2. Spread sauteed veggies on the bottom of a glass baking dish (about 9x13)
3. Mix:
• 1-2 cups cubed cooked chicken

• 1/2 c. parmesan cheese
• 1-2 cups cooked rice
4. Top with 24 oz. jar spaghetti sauce.
5. Finish with mozzarella cheese on top!
6. Bake covered for 40 minutes @ 350 degrees; uncover and broil briefly to melt cheese more if desired!
