Chicken Parmesan on Zucchini Ribbons

The zucchini is beginning to take off in the garden.  This recipe uses zucchini instead of pasta as a base for your chicken to sit on.  It is a great way to get in those veggies!  If you would prefer, you can always cook up some pasta instead of the ribbons and serve your chicken that way.  Either way, this is a delicious recipe.

1 large or 2 small zucchini, sliced very thin lengthwise
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2-3 c. of spaghetti sauce
3 chicken breasts
1/8 c. Parmesan cheese
2 T. olive oil
Pound chicken with a meat mallet until flat.  Put 1 T. olive oil in the pan and heat to medium heat.  Add chicken breast and cook until browned and no longer pink in the middle.  Pour spaghetti sauce in with chicken and allow to simmer on low.  
In another pan, heat the remaining 1 T. olive oil and add in the zucchini and garlic.  Cook about 6-8 minutes, or until zucchini softens and warms but does not brown.

Place a serving of zucchini on plate, top with a chicken breast, spoon on sauce and sprinkle with cheese.
