  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 pieces eggs Beaten

Preparation

  5. Toss the cut zucchini fries in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet.
  6. Arrange the breaded chicken breasts on the same baking sheet as the zucchini fries.

  2. Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a crunchier texture, consider using crushed cornflakes instead of breadcrumbs. You can also add Italian seasoning or garlic powder to the breadcrumb mixture for extra flavor.
