1 tablespoon chopped

fresh thyme

6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced and divided

1 shallot, thinly sliced

1 pound heirloom tomatoes, chopped

½ cup dry white wine

½ teaspoon kosher salt, divided

½ teaspoon black pepper

3 tablespoons 2% reduced-fat Greek yogurt

1 ounce grated Parmesan cheese (about ¼ cup), divided

4 (4-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast cutlets

½ cup whole-wheat panko

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Cooking spray

4 medium zucchini

2 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, very thinly sliced

½ cup torn basil leaves, divided

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add thyme, 4 garlic cloves, and shallot; cook 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, wine, ¼ teaspoon salt, and pepper; cook 8 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half.

3. Combine yogurt and Parmesan; spread over both sides of cutlets. Combine panko and garlic powder. Dredge cutlets in panko mixture. Place cutlets on a wire rack coated with cooking spray. Place rack on a baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 12 minutes or until done.

4. Using a julienne peeler, peel zucchini lengthwise into strips, stopping at the inside part containing the seeds; discard seeds.

5. Preheat broiler to high. Top each cutlet with 2 tablespoons sauce; top sauce evenly with mozzarella. Broil 2 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.

6. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add remaining 2 garlic cloves; cook 1 minute. Add zucchini; cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Toss with remaining sauce, remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, and half of basil.

7. Arrange ¾ cup zucchini noodles on each of 4 plates. Top each serving with 1 chicken portion; sprinkle servings evenly with remaining half of basil.
