Shred zucchini,
sprinkle with salt, wrap in paper towels, and let stand
for 15 minutes. Squeeze the zucchini dry. In a large
skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. of the oil over medium heat. Add
the zucchini and sauté until crisp- tender, 2 to 3
minutes; remove from skillet and let cool. In the same
skillet, heat the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil, add the onion,
and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes; remove
from the heat and let cool. |

In a small bowl,

Add the egg and beat until smooth. Mix in the zucchini,
onion, parsley and cheese. |

side attached, and force the zucchini stuffing
underneath the skin of each breast. Brush each stuffed
breast with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with the
herbes de Provence. |
