Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated and excess moisture squeezed out

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for a sweeter twist)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis and place them on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Squeeze out as much moisture as you can. This step is crucial for the consistency of your cookies.

    Cook Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

      Make Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until fully combined.

        Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the grated zucchini and chocolate chips (if using) into the batter until evenly distributed.

          Cook Cookies: Using the same skillet (add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil if needed), drop spoonfuls of the zucchini cookie batter into the hot skillet, flattening them slightly. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. You can cook them in batches if necessary.

            Combine Chicken and Cookies: Once all the cookie bites are cooked, return the cooked chicken to the skillet and gently toss together with the zucchini cookies until well combined.

              Serve: Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving for a fresh touch. Enjoy your unique Zucchini Cookies Chicken Skillet warm, either as a main dish or a fun, savory snack!
