Yield

Serves 4 (serving size: 1 cutlet and about 3/4 cup vegetables)

Skip canned tomatoes and serve these crispy, cheesy chicken cutlets with a fresh tomato-and-zucchini sauté instead, a super-easy side that takes advantage of peak-season summer produce. For a healthy whole-grain swap, use white whole-wheat flour in place of all-purpose for breading the chicken and in any sweet or savory recipe. Make sure to position your oven rack in the middle of the oven, about 6 inches from the broiler, so the cutlets don’t cook too quickly. Round out the meal with a simple green salad and garlic-rubbed toasted bread slices.

Ingredients

1 ounce white whole-wheat flour (about 1/4 cup)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2/3 cup plain whole-wheat breadcrumbs
4 (4-oz.) chicken breast cutlets
5/8 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Cooking spray
3 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 3/4 cup)
1 1/2 cups chopped zucchini (about 1 medium)
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
