Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add zucchini slices and cook for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
In a bowl, mix heavy cream, sour cream, cream cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan until smooth.
In the baking dish, layer the zucchini evenly.
Add the cooked chicken on top of the zucchini.
Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the mixture.

Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until bubbly and golden.
Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
