My mom brought me some random vegetables from home, so I had to think of some ways to use them. Two of the many kinds were green beans and zucchini. I decided to make them somewhat greek flavors. I added a balsamic drizzle on top last minute because I felt like the dish needed something... but that can be omitted.
Goat Cheese Chicken, Zucchini Patties and Feta Mint Cous Cous
1/2 lb. steamed Green Beans, trimmed
Feta Mint Cous Cous:
1 c. whole wheat cous cous
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
drizzle of EVOO
1 c. chicken stock
1 tbsp. minced mint
1/4 c. crumbled fat free feta
Bring chicken stock, salt, pepper and EVOO to a simmer, add cous cous, cover and turn off heat. Let it sit for 8 minutes, then toss in mint and feta and fluff with a fork.
Zucchini Patties:
2 c. grated zucchini
2 egg white
1/2 c. bread crumbs
2 tbsp. flour
1/4 c. crumbled fat free feta
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Preheat a nonstick skillet to medium-high. Gently toss all ingredients together in a bowl. Spray pan with nonstick skillet, drop heaping spoonfulls of of mixture into skillet, cook for 7 minutes per side, until browned. Flip and cook the second side for 6-7 minutes. Serve right away or they'll lose their crispness.
