Preparation Method Steps: 1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). 2. Slice zucchini into thin strips using a mandoline or sharp knife. 3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. 4. In a large bowl, combine zucchini strips, cooked vegetables, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. 5. Take a chicken breast and make a horizontal cut in the middle, creating a pocket. Do not cut all the way through. 6. Fill the chicken pockets with the vegetable filling. 7. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish. Drizzle with any remaining oil. 8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
