1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 medium red bell pepper, diced

1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes until lightly browned but not fully cooked through.
Add broccoli florets, sliced mushrooms, diced red bell pepper, and diced zucchini to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in dried thyme, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the nonfat plain Greek yogurt until well combined.
Transfer the mixture into a 9×9 inch casserole dish.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until the casserole is bubbly and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
