Receta Zucchini & Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken
I made these last week to try something different, I had never grated a zucchini before! They were really good, I think it's a good dish to serve to guests because the presentation was awesome. I served mine with fresh string beans and my Mexican Rice Pilaf
