INSTRUCTIONS
Pat zucchini "spaghetti" dry and toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive
oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper and set aside. Lightly flour
chicken breasts and shake off excess. Season with salt and pepper.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to an oven-proof saute pan and lightly
brown on both sides. Remove from pan and set aside. Add remaining
oil, leeks and garlic and saute over moderate heat for 3 to 4 minutes
or until vegetables are just beginning to soften. Add wine and stock
and cook over moderate heat for 3 to 4 minutes to reduce liquid
slightly. Return chicken to pan and place some of the leeks mixture
on top of breasts. Season lightly and sprinkle lime zest, juice,
parsley and sundried tomatoes over and around breasts. Place pan
uncovered in a preheated 400 degree oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes
or until breasts are just done. Halfway through the baking of the
breasts, place the zucchini on a separate baking sheet and bake until
zucchini just begins to soften. To serve: Arrange zucchini
attractively on warm plates and top with breasts and vegetables.
Drizzle pan juices over. Garnish with zucchini flowers. Serve hot or
at room temperature. This recipe yields 8 servings.
Comments: This simple, delicious oven-roasted chicken oozes with tart,
citrusy flavors. This makes a nice dish for a buffet and helps make
use of the summer zucchini glut! The original recipe title as listed
is "Breast Of Chicken Baked With Leeks And Lime On Zucchini
"Spaghetti"".
