Italian style chicken thighs with zucchini
- Total Time: 1 hour
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Description
This recipe is not “Old World” but it sure is yummy. I love boneless chicken thighs, and had some zucchini that needed to be used. After a little research, I came up with this dish and we loved every bite. Serve it over pasta, add a little red sauce, or just by itself with some bread. The more cheese, the better!
Ingredients
- 4 boneless chicken thighs
- 2 eggs
- Italian style breadcrumbs, OR panko breadcrumbs, season with Italian herb seasoning
- salt & pepper to taste
- 4 Tbl (or more) vegetable oil or light olive oil
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup shredded (or grated) parmesan cheese
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced
- 6–8 button mushrooms, cleaned, stems removed and halved
- 1 tsp minced garlic
Instructions
- Spread the seasoned breadcrumbs (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup) in a shallow bowl.
- Pat the boneless chicken thighs dry and season lightly with salt pepper.
- Break the two eggs into a separate shallow bowl and beat.
- Dip the thighs in the egg, then in the breadcrumbs. Press lightly to make sure the thighs are coated with breadcrumbs on all sides.
- Place the thighs on a plate and place in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
- When the thighs have had their resting time in the frig, heat the oil in a saute pan. Saute the thighs in the pan on medium heat for about 4 minutes on each side, until nicely browned and cooked through.
- Remove the thighs and place on a plate. Add a little more oil to the pan, then add the minced garlic to the pan and let brown for a minute.
- Place the sliced zucchini and the mushrooms in the pan and saute on both sides for about 4 minutes.
- Add the chicken back to the skillet, sprinkle some more parmesan over everything and heat through. Serve immediately.
Notes
I served this over tagliettelle with some jarred marinara sauce and it was delicious. You can simply serve it with italian bread, or any kind of pasta.
