This is a one pan dish that may take a little time since it is made in steps. If you want to prepare it faster, use more than one pan. It is a great meal to make when the zucchini is fresh out of the garden.
1/2 lb. mushrooms, sliced
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
olive oil
6 chicken cutlets, pounded
2 T. flour
14 1/2 oz. canned diced tomatoes
3 T. balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar
1/2 t. salt
garlic powder, to taste, optional
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
chopped parsley, for garnish, if desired
Slice mushrooms and zucchini and chop onion.
Heat 1 T. oil over medium-high heat and then cook zucchini until tender, crispy and lightly browned. Set aside on a plate.
Heat another tablespoon of oil in the same skillet and cook the mushrooms until browned, then remove to a bowl and set aside.
Coat the chicken in the flour and in the same skillet heat 2 T. oil. Cook chiciken until browned lightly and juice run clear, about 10 minutes. Set aside in the bowl with the mushrooms.
