ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 medium shredded zucchini
- 3 slices white bread, torn in small pieces
- 1 egg
- 1⁄2 cup shredded swiss cheese
- 3 lbs frying chickens, quartered
- salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons honey (approx.)

- To prepare the stuffing you will need a 2-qt. saucepan. Over medium heat melt your butter. Add the zucchini and cook only until tender, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and add bread, and stir in egg, cheese pepper and 1/2 teaspoons salt.
- Preheat the oven to 400*

- Place the chicken in a 13 x 9 pan.
- Bake 50 minute or until fork tender.
- To serve, remove onto a warm platter. Brush with honey and sprinkle lightly with salt.
- Enjoy!

This was very delicious and had a nice visual effect on the plates. My stuffing seemed to spread out of the chicken thighs and the chicken pieces that were not touching the edge of the pan were quite sloppy, but still delicious. A good way to get veggies into my kids. I made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup.

I am an avid cook and recipe collector. I've been cooking since I was 9 yrs. old. I am the first American from my family so I cook many different European dishes, everything from west to east. If I had a month just to do what I would like to do...I would like to cook that month with a famous chef. I also write a bulletin for a Service to Mankind organization. Since I collect recipes anywhere I can see them, I've been asked to share them with my readers. So this site is wonderful not just for me!
