One-Skillet Hawaiian BBQ Chicken

 

1 T. light olive oil

2 medium zucchini, chopped

1/2 red onion, chopped

1 clove garlic chopped

salt and pepper to taste

3-4 chicken breast cutlets (about 1 pound)

1/4 C. BBQ sauce

6-8 thin slices ham

1/2 C. shredded mozzarella cheese

3-4 sliced pineapple rings

sliced green onions for garnish (optional)

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Heat a large cast-iron or other oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat on the stove.  Add the oil to the skillet, then add the zucchini, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook the vegetables, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes.  Turn off the skillet and remove from heat.  Place the chicken cutlets over the vegetable mixture and season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste.  Add about 1 T. BBQ sauce over each chicken cutlet and use a spoon to spread it evenly over the chicken.  Top each cutlet with 2 slices ham, 2 T. cheese, and a pineapple ring.   Place the skillet in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.    Garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
