 Hey guys, welcome back to Six Sister Stuff. Today, we're making chicken zucchini casserole. So I'm Kristen, and I'm Elise. And usually you just see me on the YouTube, but now the sisters are joining me. So we're so excited to have her here. So we love sharing easy, simple recipes with you guys. We've had our website since what, 2011. And I think we've shared over 3,000 recipes. But we jumped onto YouTube to show you instant pot recipes, but now we're gonna start incorporating a lot of other easy recipes. Some of our favorites. Exactly. So the recipe we're making today is our chicken zucchini casserole. And our sister Camille has a killer garden. Her husband's a gardener. They're way into it. And every year she's like, please take some of my zucchini. And they're like massive. I wish I had that problem. I think I have like black thumbs. I kill potted plants. Me too. But she was looking for a recipe to use all her zucchini. So we've got zucchini bread recipes. We have a ton of zucchini recipes on the site. But this is one of our absolute favorite zucchini recipes. And not only that, like, our audience loves this recipe. I think it's one of our most popular ones. Yeah, it's been our top recipe for a couple months, for good reason. It's easy. You'll see the ingredients. It's super simple ingredients, but it's so good. Even our picky eaters love it. Exactly. My kids don't even realize that they're eating zucchini as they're eating this recipe. All right, so we're gonna first cut up about four zucchini. Now, if you love zucchini and you want more, you can always make it with like six zucchini. But we like about four, because it's pretty even. You do the chopping. Okay, I can do that. I'm gonna tell you guys. So Kristen was talking about how we're all about easy dinner. And so a couple of years ago, we decided we need to make dinner time easier for everybody. And the hardest part about dinner, at least for us, is we've each got four kids. Life is crazy. We work, our husbands work. We thought we need to make dinner time easy for other moms or busy parents, working parents. So we developed a program. It's a menu plan program. And every week we send out a new menu plan to tell you exactly what recipes to make for the week. And then you'll get a recipe with a picture. With a picture. So we'll show you what it's gonna look like in the end. You'll get main dish recipes, side dish recipes, dessert recipes, new recipes every single week. And then it comes with a detailed chopping list down to like the half teaspoon. Let me tell you, I hate menu planning. Like I hate it. But if I can have Pinterest all day looking for what recipes to make. I mean, even if it's just for some ideas and then making my shopping list, since it comes with the shopping list, it's like, okay, so I get the email, I print this out and I'm like, okay, I'm ready for the week. Or if you're like, I've already got all these spices. You can take those off your shopping list. We've had people cut their grocery bills completely in half because they're not throwing all this extra stuff in their cart or they do the online grocery shopping and make it that much easier. So that's at six sisters menuplan.com. We can put a link to that. There's sample plans there, so you can check those out, try them. We have five different plans available. I think my favorite one is the healthy one. We're trying to eat a little bit healthier. So there's actually, so there's, let me get this right. So there's a small healthy one and then there's the large family healthy one. These six state people are regular healthy plants. Every recipe's 500 calories are less. It has the nutrition info and yeah, just makes dinner time that much easier. Awesome. That's the last thing we need is to worry about what's for dinner. Exactly. Well, Kristen's chopping that. I'll show you the topping that goes on this chicken zucchini casserole. So you're just gonna use a package of stove top stuffing mix. We're using the chicken flavor. But I mean, you can use turkey too. I kind of just. The savory one's really good too. They just have one that's not. I didn't know they have meat. Meat flavor. So whole box of that obviously uncooked. And then we've got a half cup of melted butter. We're just pouring on top. Okay. So this will be, this doubles as the topping for the casserole as well as a thickener in the casserole itself. So just mix that together. And then you're gonna set aside about a half cup of this stuffing and butter to sprinkle on top. Okay. You want to just put it in there? Awesome. Okay. So I finished up cutting the zucchini. Now I like to cut it in about bite size. Like bite size. So my kids can eat it and not have a huge chunk of zucchini in their mouth. So, okay. Zucchini's done. Put that aside. Kay, what's next? So we're just gonna mix everything in one large bowl. So the zucchini, Kristen cut up. How are we gonna do this? We're gonna do it this way. There we go. I'm pouring that in. Just man handle it. I like it. That's it. We'll mis-hap, that's okay. It's all mixing together. And then I'm gonna add the stuffing mixture that remains after I set that half cup aside. Perfect. You're gonna want a large bowl. We're gonna be pushing. Yeah, this one's gonna be. Pushing it with us. A little overflowing. But that's okay. And then we've got one half onion that's just been diced. Now if you love onions, you can add a whole onion, but my kids kinda struggle. So we're gonna have onions. We're making this for the kids. Exactly. We're cutting it for the kids. And then three chicken breasts that have been cooked and shredded or diced. Now you can go the cheater route and get like the rotisserie chicken. Yes. They even make rotisserie chickens that are already cut and shredded for you. I love getting those when they're available. All right. Kristen actually made this in the Instant Pot. I did it. Kicked my chicken in the Instant Pot this morning. And then we're doing a half cup of shredded mozzarella. Now the mozzarella is not in the recipe, but I like to add a little cheese. Add a little flavor to it. And then we had a half cup of sour cream. So really this is low fat, low calories. It's not raw. Good. But the candy covered food that your picky eaters will like. And then just one can of cream of chicken soup, right? All right. Do you want to get that spoon for me? Yeah. So we're just going to mix this together. Nice. In our two small bowl. Very, very carefully. Do you want to do it or do you want me? I trust you. Oh, guys, guys. So sometimes when I am in a big hurry, I'll actually spray my pan, dump everything in the pan and mix it in the pan. Just so it's one less bowl I have to do. And this is a recipe you could make ahead of time. A lot of time I'll get my dinner all prepped while my kids are at school or a toddler's napping. Get it to this point before it's baked and just stick it in your fridge and then you could throw it in at dinner time. So your oven would be preheating to 350 and then it cooks for 40 to 50 minutes. So plan accordingly as to how much time you need to get it. Right. And I love this too because it usually, so I have a family of six. I have four little girls and a husband who eats for like three people. But this will feed us twice. Like I love having the leftovers of it. And it's filling enough. Like you've got a vegetable, you've got protein, some carbs. Some goodness. There we go. All right. The struggle is real here, but we're getting it. It's okay. And it all kind of melts together when it bakes that it's, this is a super forgiving recipe. If you're just starting out cooking this chicken zucchini casserole is quick, easy. It's a crowd pleaser. I like to make this and give it to people when they have babies or people in the neighborhood who need a meal. This is a good meal to bring to people. Okay. I'm gonna give you the spoon and I'm gonna hold the bowl. So we're just putting in the pan that's been sprayed with the nonstick cooking spray and then spread it out. Yes. And then that half cup of topping you reserved. Oh yeah, the stuffing. The stuffing and butter is just gonna go right on top. Thank you. And this will make like a nice, crunchy, crispy topping. Now, if you could also save the cheese and put the cheese on top and then the stuffing or you can incorporate the cheese in like we did. Yeah. Either way, it tastes so good. Can't go wrong. All right. We're gonna stick to the oven for about 45, 50 minutes. Uncovered 40 to 50 minutes. Okay, perfect. Okay. So cooked in the oven for about what? 40 minutes or so? 40 minutes at 350. Nice. Oh, and okay, let's check the zucchini. Yep, zucchini is like perfectly done. I love how it's, oh, sorry. Look how it's not soggy because typically when you cook with zucchini, it gets really soggy but the stuffing just soaked it all up. Perfect consistency. There you go. I love it.
