Chicken Stuffed with Zucchini & Goat Cheese

Goat cheese- one of my all-time favorites and slightly less in calories than other, harder cheeses. This recipe calls for bone-in chicken breasts, but I'm too lazy for that. I'll be trying to stuff the goodies in there some other way...

1LB zucchini salt 2tbs olive oil, plus xtra for brushing 1 med onion, finely chopped 4oz goat cheese (at room temp) 3tbs unsalted butter (at room temp) 1 large egg 2tbs parsley 1/3 c. parm 4 bone-in chicken breast halves


Prepare grill on med-high or oven 375. Shred zucc, sprinkle w/salt, wrap in paper towels & let stand 15 min. In large skillet, heat 1tbs oil over med heat. Add zucc & saute until crisp tender, 2-3 min. Remove from skillet and let cool. In same skilled, heat 1tbs oil, add onion and saute 5 min. remove from heat, cool. In small bowl, beat goat cheese, butter, then egg, until smooth. Add zucc, onion, parsley & parm. Using fingers, losen skin from chicken, leaving one side attached and force zucc under Brush each with olive oil and sprinkle with herbs de Provence. Grill over heat, 15-20 min. or bake 25-30.
