Hello precious1128, Sorry for the confusion, this was the Con Zucchini recipe, this should never have been specified for Chicken. Sorry and thanks for the feedback!

Where does the chicken come in. Do you pour over chicken slices or chicken breasts.

Something's not quite right here. Where's the chicken???
