Chicken, Zucchini and Prosciutto

"Searched with ingredients "chicken breast" and "zucchini"; this was top recipe. I, too, used bacon. It was delicious! Who knew bacon would complement squash so well (but then again, it is BACON). I added some fresh shredded basil at the end just before the lemon. Do not leave out the lemon, it really makes the dish." - judyjag

I too only had bacon but still enjoyed the flavours. Have put up a photo still. Served this with potato and carrots. An excellent quick and easy meal.

REALLY outstanding, even substituting bacon for prosciutto (please don't hate -- I just used what I had in the fridge) turned out flavor-rich and a fantastic new 'keeper' recipe discovery! Thank you, debk830! NEXT time I'll take photos (and try to have enough prosciutto on hand).
