Zucchini Herb Casserole

recipe image

Ingredients:

2 cup cooked brown rice (i cook mine with chicken broth for additional flavor)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound zucchini, cubed
1 cup sliced green onions
3 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons sea salt
2 teaspoons italian seasoning
1 teaspoon paprika
3 large roma tomatoes, chopped tomatoes
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese,
divided (optional)


Directions:

Heat the oil in a skillet/wok over medium heat, and cook the zucchini, green onions, and garlic 5 minutes, or until tender. Season with salt, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Mix in the cooked rice, tomatoes, and 1 cup cheese. Continue to cook and stir until heated through. 

I found this recipe on Allrecipes and followed the comments section recommendations by made a few tweaks so it would be faster to make. I served it with Costco Rotisserie chicken. Instead of making a casserole, I just served it right out of the pan. Also, I didn't have time to make rice, so I used 1 bag of Trader Joe's frozen brown rice and added 2 Trader Joe's liquid chicken bullion packets directly to the wok.
