Dinah Shores Zucchini Stuffed Chicken

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil.

2. In a skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced zucchini and minced garlic, and sauté until the zucchini is tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.

4. Flatten each chicken breast by gently pounding it between two sheets of wax paper. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

5. Spoon the zucchini mixture onto each flattened chicken breast, spreading it evenly over the surface.

6. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture generously on top of the zucchini on each chicken breast.

7. Carefully roll up each chicken breast, starting from one end to the other, securing the seams with toothpicks to prevent the filling from spilling out during cooking.

8. Place the stuffed chicken breasts seam side down in the prepared baking dish.

9. Drizzle a little olive oil over the stuffed chicken breasts to help them brown nicely in the oven.

10. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the top is golden brown.

11. Once done, remove the toothpicks from the chicken breasts and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.

12. Serve the Dinah Shores Zucchini Stuffed Chicken warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy the delicious flavors and textures with your loved ones.
