    Awesome! Sliced the chicken breast, added minced garlic and sautéed everything in a bit of olive oil before baking. We had ours over brown rice. It was absolutely divine! Will definitely be adding this to our rotation. - 8/8/13

    Yummy!! Created a makeover recipe to add a yellow squash and use parmesan cheese instead of cheddar. http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-deta

    This recipe was just what I was looking for! I just picked zucchini and had chicken breast thawing for dinner! I added some paprika and red pepper flakes, but that is what makes this recipe great--it can be seasoned to taste easily and still remain simple and quick. Thanks! - 8/5/09

    My boyfriend and I had never cooked before really, and I thought this recipe looked simple and delicious. It did NOT disappoint. We had to buy oregano to make it, our first spice! We adored it. - 6/29/08

    This was SO DELICIOUS! I also added green pepper and sliced tomatoes on top of the onions. The chicken was so tender I cut it with my fork! - 5/21/14

    Beautiful, kids loved it as did the grownups. I pounded the chicken breasts out for even cooking. The zucchini kept the chicken beautifully moist. I might also consider gently sauteing the onion and mixing it in with the zucchini. - 5/10/10

    I had some zucchini and chicken laying around and decided to give this recipe a whirl. Although I forwent the onions and used tomatoes instead. Cut chicken mixed together and added cheese afterwords. It was very good something simple I will probably whip up again! - 4/22/10

    So delicious and very simple to make! Had to cook the chicken a bit longer than 30 minutes but hubby was very pleased and wished there had been more left-over! Will make again; thanks! - 9/24/09

    We seem to have a ready supply of zuchini coming from my husbands' disc golf buddy. So must give this recipe a try. Wonder what would happen if tomatoes were added? Hmmmm... - 9/1/09

    I added parmesan cheese and a little cajun spices to the chicken. Had to cook it a bit longer than recipe, ended up cutting the thicker part of chicken into smaller pieces. IT TASTED GREAT! So easy to make and everyone LOVED it! Kids liked the chicken and hubby loved it all. - 7/26/08
