2 200g pkgs. snow peas, stringed
1 small zucchini, washed chopped

Preheat oven to broil.

Place mayonnaise, chicken, and 1/2 of the herbs in a pie plate and using hands coat chicken all over. Season to taste, lightly. Set aside.

Place yams on a large baking sheet and drizzle with 2-3 tbsp vegetable oil. (Do not use EVOO it will smoke).  Add seasoning, toss to coat, place under broiler. * Set timer for 5min if you will not remember to check oven*

Sprinkle crumbs on a piece of wax paper. Using tongs place one fillet onto crumbs using the ridges of the tongs scoop the crumbs onto the top of the chicken and with a clean hand gently press crumbs onto chicken.  Turn over and scoop bread crumbs and press.  Repeat until finished with all fillets.

In a heated large skillet add EVOO sparingly and place fillets in skillet, do not overlap or spray the top and bottom of chicken and place on baking sheet for 15min. for a low cal meeal.

Cook until golden brown on all sides. Place in bottom oven rack to keep warm.

Check yams! Using tongs turn over.  Cook for another 5 min.  Checking for browning until all sides are cooked 10-15min in total. Do not let burn.

In a medium heated skillet, add green onion, peas and zucchini, crisp slightly for 1-2 min on med. high, then reduce heat to cook through for 5min. Season to taste.  Sprinkle remaining herbs over and toss  to coat.
