Meet the Cook: Even people who don't like zucchini comment on how flavorful this is! If you want, you can also bake the stuffing by itself and serve it as a side dish. -Bernadette Romano, Shaftsbury, Vermont

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
2 medium zucchini, shredded (about 2-1/2 cups)
3 slices white bread, torn into coarse crumbs
1 large egg, beaten
3/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Saute onion, parsley and basil until the onion is tender. Add zucchini and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in bread crumbs, egg, cheese, salt and pepper.
Carefully loosen the skin of the chicken on one side to form a pocket. Stuff each breast with the zucchini mixture. Bake at 375° for 50-60 minutes or until chicken is done.
