ZUCCHINI PARM - MY WAY
My kids just love this dish...I thought I would share it...a few years ago I threw this together with the plentiful crop of zucchini we had from our garden...at the time I had canned homemade spaghetti sauce and it made this dish all the more delicious...now, I either make a quick marinara or, there are many delicious store...

Steps:
- 1. Prepare your slices of zucchini and place in a large bowl...drizzle well with olive oil and toss to coat. I use a mandolin to slice my zucchini, super quick and all the same thickness.
- 2. In another bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Panko's, french fried onions, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, garlic powder, salt & pepper. Mix well.
- 3. Preheat oven to 450 degree F. Get out a couple sheet pans and spray with non stick cooking spray. ( or you can fry the breaded zucchini.) Press each slice of zucchini into the crumb mixture, so they are coated well. It won't be a real heavy coating. Place in single layers on sheet and bake for about 20 minutes or until browning, but not burnt - just golden.
- 4. In the meantime, place about 3/4 cup marinara in the bottom of a greased, small casserole dish. ( about the size of a deep dish pie plate.) When zucchini is finished, reduce oven to 400.
- 5. Next, layer zucchini, overlapping some, to cover sauce.
- 6. Next, sprinkle 1/3 of pizza blend cheese, and then a small sprinkling of shredded Parmesan.
- 7. Repeat the steps until you have 3 layers of zucchini, cheese and sauce. I always end with a little sauce on top and finish with cheese, I then sprinkle some dried parsley flakes and a little more shredded parm. Note: I use almost a whole jar of sauce ( 24 ounces) you may not like yours as saucy, just use as much as you want. It will still be good.
- 8. Place casserole in oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted and browning. ( You may want to cover with foil near the end if getting too dark, before the center of casserole is finished.)
- 9. This can be served as a side dish or as is. Usually, I serve as a snack type meal, when I don't feel up to cooking much... Hope you enjoy it as much as my kids do.
ZUCCHINI WITH PARMESAN
Steps:
- Remove the ends of the zucchini and, if they are large, cut in half lengthwise. Slice the zucchini diagonally in 1/2-inch slices. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan and add the onions. Cook for 10 minutes on medium-low heat, until they start to brown. Add half the zucchini, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the pan and cook, tossing occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes, until just cooked through. Sprinkle with Parmesan and cook for 30 seconds more. Remove to a serving platter and repeat with the rest of the zucchini. Serve immediately.
- Note: If you cook too much zucchini in one pan, you end up steaming rather than sauteing it. I prefer to cook it in 2 batches.
Tips:
- To save time, use a mandoline slicer to cut the zucchini into thin, even slices.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to flatten the chicken breasts.
- Be sure to dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture before dipping them in the eggs and breadcrumbs. This will help the coating to adhere.
- To prevent the chicken breasts from sticking to the pan, make sure the oil is hot before adding them.
- Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat to prevent them from burning.
- To make sure the chicken breasts are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken parmesan with your favorite pasta sauce and a side of vegetables.
Conclusion:
Bonnie's Zucchini Parmesan is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The zucchini slices are crispy and golden brown, the chicken breasts are tender and juicy, and the cheese is melted and gooey. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
