I'm a huge sweet potato fan and I also love casserole recipes. I’ve always liked these simple veggie and meat casseroles because are easy to prepare, usually are healthy and you don’t have to bother with side dish. Also the flavors in casseroles are so deliciously combined, it’s always a pleasure to eat. And I almost forgot, the grated cheese on top of casseroles is the best!

For this great casserole you’ll need just five!! ingredients (spices not included): sweet potato, zucchini, chicken breast, Parmesan or any other grated cheese and olive oil. For seasoning just use the most basic spices: salt, black pepper,paprika and if you desire garlic powder, and your favorite herbs.
