Joanne's Chicken Italiano

[gwaelinn.livejournal.com]

Hi all! Here is my first contribution. I created this one just after I got married...a long time ago. Tt is very health friendly and a big fave of my hubby and the kids. It is really easy, too!

4 skinless/boneless chix breast (or 1 per person)...pounded
1 sm. bottle zesty fat-free Italian dressing
1 zucchini slices very thin
1 tomato sliced thin
thin sliced provolone (1 to 1 1/2 slices per breast)

To prepare:
*Pound chicken flat (makes for faster and more even broiling) and place in a lg. zip lock bag.
*Add the small bottle (about 2 cups) Italian dressing and marinate at least 1 hour.
*Remove chicken and discard the dressing.
*Place chicken on broiler pan and broil, turning once.
*Once you turn it over and it is almost done cooking, top with a couple of zucchini slices (see hint), 1-2 tomato slices and cheese.
*Finish broiling (let the cheese begin to bubble and brown).

Hint: I micro the zucchini for about 2 minutes to pre-cook a bit before topping the chicken with it.

I usually serve it with rice for the rest of the family...I like it with a bit of wild rice since I started on the South Beach Diet.

Enjoy!
