Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375˚F.
Chop the zucchini, yellow squash, and sweet onion into bite-sized pieces and mix them together.
In a large casserole dish, arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer. Season them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Layer the chopped vegetables over the chicken, then dollop the pesto across the top. You can add the cheese now for a crispy topping, or add it 10 minutes before it's finished baking for a gooey finish.
Bake in the oven for 35-45 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F. If it browns too much, tent with foil.
Once done, serve hot and enjoy your delicious casserole!

Notes

For quicker cooking, cut the chicken into smaller pieces or use chicken tenderloins.
Feel free to customize vegetables based on your preferences or seasonal availability.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
