3 tbsp light olive oil,

1 large onion,

2 stalks celery,

1 red pepper,

1 medium zucchini

1 tsp kosher salt

Heat oil in a large sauté pan.

Add onions and sauté until golden.

Add pepper and zucchini, sauté until slightly softened. Season with salt and pepper.

Remove from heat and cool 10 Minutes.

With a small sharp knife, cut a slit in the side of the chicken and move your knife up and down in an arc to create a pocket in the chicken breast.

Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of vegetable mixture into the pocket, stuffing it all the way inside.

Place beaten eggs in one dish and panko crumbs in another.

Carefully dip the chicken into the eggs. Then dip into the crumbs, patting to make sure it is completely covered.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Place chicken on a foil-lined sheet pan.

Drizzle or spray chicken generously with oil.

Bake 30 Minutes- 35 Minutesminutes, turning chicken over halfway through cooking time. Remove from oven and allow to rest 10 Minutes.

Slice cutlets on the diagonal and serve.

The stuffed breasts can also be frozen raw. Allow them to defrost and come to room temperature before continuing with directions above.
