These are very filling so the serving size is one per person. Try them with rice or if you’d like an even lighter version, with a green salad.
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups (1 medium) zucchini, shredded
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp Romano cheese (or parmesan)
- 3 oz part skim shredded mozzarella
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8 thin chicken cutlets, 3 oz each
- 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs

- olive oil non-stick spray
Instructions:
- Wash and dry cutlets, season with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 450°. Spray a baking dish with non-stick spray.
- In a large skillet, heat oil on medium-high heat. Saute the garlic until golden. Add zucchini, 1/4 cup Romano cheese, salt and pepper and saute 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool. When cool, add mozzarella cheese and mix to combine.
- Lay chicken cutlets down on a working surface and spread 3 tbsp of zucchini-cheese mixture on each cutlet. Loosely roll each one and keep seam side down.
- Combine breadcrumbs and 2 tbsp of Romano cheese in one bowl; in a second bowl combine olive oil, lemon juice, and pepper.
- Dip chicken in lemon-oil mixture, then in breadcrumbs and place seam side down in a baking dish (no toothpicks needed). Repeat with the remaining chicken. When finished, lightly spray with oil spray.
- Bake 25 – 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
