Ingredients

    Ingredients:
    2 good-sized boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    1 medium-sized zucchini
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    Couple of eggs
    Grated parmesan cheese
    Jarred marinara sauce
    Salt, pepper, olive oil

Directions

Use a box grater to grate the zucchini into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and then toss just enough flour into that to lightly coat the zucchini and spread it out in the dish.

Next, add about 1/2 cup all-purpose flour to a large, shallow mixing bowl and beat a couple of eggs in another large, shallow bowl.

Make sure the chicken breasts are thin so that they cooks quickly. If the chicken is a bit thick, cut it in half from top to bottom before seasoning them with salt and pepper.

Dredge the chicken first in the all-purpose flour, then lightly in the beaten eggs and then press both sides firmly into the grated zucchini.

Use a large nonstick pan with a good splash of olive oil on medium-high heat to sauté the chicken and, at the same time, use another small pot to get the marinara sauce going.

Cook the first side of the chicken until it is a nice golden brown and then very carefully flip them over. Let them go on the second side for a couple of minutes.

Sprinkle a little grated parmesan over the top of each breast, turn the heat down a little bit and put a lid on top to help cook the chicken and melt the cheese. When the chicken is cooked enough, put some marinara on a plate, place the chicken on top and serve.
