Chicken with zucchini and Kashar cheese is made by browning bite-sized chicken, cooking sliced zucchini until tender, then melting grated Kashar over the top. Season the chicken as it cooks, and add the cheese at the end so it does not overcook.
Yes, chicken with zucchini and Kashar cheese can be baked in an ovenproof dish. Cook the chicken and zucchini together, then add the grated cheese near the end and bake until it melts and lightly browns.
To keep chicken with zucchini and Kashar cheese from turning watery, cut the zucchini into substantial pieces and cook it over fairly high heat without crowding the pan. Avoid covering it while it cooks, since trapped steam makes the zucchini release more moisture.
Boneless chicken breast or thighs both work in chicken with zucchini and Kashar cheese. Breast cooks quickly and has a leaner texture, while thighs tend to stay juicier. Cut the pieces evenly so they cook at the same rate.
Add Kashar to chicken with zucchini and Kashar cheese after the chicken and zucchini are cooked. Sprinkle it over the dish and cover briefly, or finish it under a broiler, until melted. Adding it earlier can make the cheese stick or brown too much.
Chicken with zucchini and Kashar cheese goes well with rice, crusty bread, or a crisp green salad. For a lighter plate, serve it with salad or roasted vegetables; a grain or bread makes it a more substantial meal.
Yes, mozzarella or another good-melting semi-firm cheese can replace Kashar in chicken with zucchini and Kashar cheese. The flavor will be milder or sharper depending on the substitute, so taste the dish before adding extra salt.
Yes, chicken with zucchini and Kashar cheese is easy to cook in one pan. Brown the chicken first, set it aside if the pan is crowded, cook the zucchini, then return the chicken and melt the cheese over everything.
Store leftover chicken with zucchini and Kashar cheese in a covered container in the refrigerator once it has cooled. Do not leave the chicken dish at room temperature for an extended time, and reheat leftovers until steaming hot throughout.
Yes, you can freeze chicken with zucchini and Kashar cheese, though the zucchini may soften and the cheese may become less smooth after thawing. Freeze it in airtight portions, thaw it in the refrigerator, and reheat it thoroughly.

Chicken with zucchini and Kashar cheese brings together chicken, tender zucchini and Kashar, a Turkish cheese that melts well. It is a home-style main dish rather than a single fixed recipe, and can be cooked in the oven or on the stovetop.
The chicken makes it hearty, zucchini keeps the dish moist and mild, and the cheese adds a savoury, creamy finish. In Turkey it is typically served hot as part of a meal; a fresh salad makes a good accompaniment. It is high in protein and low in carbohydrate, with 17.1 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter version, use a little less cheese and let the zucchini take up more of the plate.
