Preparation steps

1.

Rinse and cut 2 zucchinis into slices lengthwise. Season each slice with salt, leave for about 10 minutes, then rinse each slice with water.

2.

Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Using a sharp knife, make a cut on the side of each breast to form a pocket. Stuff the chicken breasts' pockets with sliced cheddar cheese and chopped mint leaves. Secure the openings with wooden skewers and season with salt and red pepper to taste. Heat about 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a nonstick pan and cook chicken until golden brown on all sides, about 6 minutes per side.

3.

Pat dry the zucchini slices and sprinkle them with flour. Heat 3-4 tablespoons of oil in another pan and cook the zuccini slices until golden brown on each side, about  2-3 minutes per side.

4.

Remove zucchini slices from the pan, arrange them on serving plate and sprinkle with a little bit of lemon juice. Place chicken breasts on top of zuccini slices, garnish with cress and serve immediately.
