ZUCCHINI SANDWICHES MY DADS

Steps:

• 1. Pour olive oil in a large cast iron frypan, or any large heavy pan you have. Cut up your onions and peppers and start to simmer.
• 2. Now start cutting up your zucchini in coin shape and slowly add to the peppers and onions. You can add some Italian spice at this point if you like.
• 3. After they are nice and brown use your own tomato sauce or I have even used fresh tomatoes sliced or jarred sauce, and place over the zucchini in pan. Let this simmer for awhile, I also add a pat or two of butter in the sauce to help cut any acid, then add your cheese on top (don't scrimp). You can use whatever your favorite cheese is, just let it melt on top. Fill Italian bread slice or buns or pockets and munge !

• Meanwhile, season 1 pound chicken cutlets with salt and pepper and broil until cooked through. Let cool, then shred and add to marinated zucchini along with a handful of chopped toasted almonds and fresh parsley. Cut 1 loaf Italian bread in half horizontally and hollow out. Make a sandwich with chicken mixture (including juices) and romaine lettuce leaves.
