Zucchini is my favorite veggie.  So I get pretty excited when it is actually in season even though I buy it all year long.  My favorite way to eat zucchini is to sauté it until tender.  I could eat it with every meal.

The awesome thing about this recipe is that I had all of the ingredients on hand.  It was dinner time and I was staring in my pantry wondering what I should make.  One of our favorite things is this Crispy Parmesan Garlic Chicken.  My entire family devours it.  We love the crispy flavorful crust on the chicken.

Lets just take a second to discuss the amazing flavors in this meal.  First of all anything with parmesan and garlic is already a winner in my book.  But it coats the chicken perfectly and gives it such a crispy texture to the tender and juicy chicken.   What I especially love is removing the chicken and sautéing the zucchini in a buttery garlic parmesan sauce.  And the crispy sediments of the chicken also are incorporated in the sauce.  IT IS AMAZING!

This is a simple 30 minute meal that is full of flavor and my favorite vegetable is the star of the dish!  You guys are going to love this one.
