Roasted Zucchini Chips

This zucchini recipe serves as a new easy “go to dish”. Plus I find it is so simple you can make this while you are getting ready for work and school.  It will be one of your new favorite vegetable dishes. Every part of this recipe is important.  The pan is the most important as it will help get the zucchini to just the right crispiness.  You can also replace this recipe as an afternoon snack. The coconut oil also satisfies that afternoon craving. I find I make this at least 3 times per week. Please enjoy. Made especially for you.

This is a twist on your regular chicken parmigiano without the red sauce . There is no cream added to make it saucy and runny. The broccoli gave the dish texture. If your child is not a fan of broccoli, it is still a favorite among kids and adults alike.

Enjoy my new parmigiano with chicken and broccoli.
