Place a third of the chicken meat on the tomatoes. For meat, add 1/3 of the curd sauce.
And again we put zucchini, tomatoes, salt and pepper, and chicken and sauce on top.
Press down if there is not enough space left and repeat another layer. And sprinkle the top with cheese, or you can do this when there are about 10 minutes left until it’s ready. That’s if you don’t like fried crispy cheese.
Bake for 40 minutes. If there is too much water during the cooking process, you need to drain it and put it in the oven again.
We try it and let it finish baking if it’s not ready. Zucchini casserole for weight loss is baked for about 1 hour.

So, we need to take:

Cut the zucchini into strips or cubes. We put it in a non-stick frying pan, since we cook all this without oil. Add some salt to give them moisture. Mix.
Close the lid tightly and place on the highest heat. We don’t touch them for 5 minutes.

How to cook
Cut cleanly washed zucchini into small cubes. Immediately transfer the zucchini to a suitable baking dish. Add vegetable oil. You can mix it slightly.
Break the eggs into a separate bowl.
Add salt, ground black pepper, and your favorite spices to the eggs. I most often add chicken seasoning. Stir until smooth.
Pour the resulting mixture over the sliced zucchini in the mold.
Using a grater with large holes, grate hard cheese and sprinkle evenly on top of the zucchini.
Place the mold in an oven preheated to 190°C for 35 minutes. 10 minutes before the end of baking, you can cover the pan with foil so that the top of the dish does not overcook or dry out.
