tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2
cup Progresso™ panko bread crumbs
1
lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
2
large shallots, sliced (about 3/4 cup)
1
medium zucchini, cut in half lengthwise, then cut crosswise into slices (about 1 1/2 cups)
1
cup julienne (matchstick-cut) carrots (about 3 oz)
1/4
teaspoon pepper
1
tablespoon all-purpose flour

cup Progresso™ reduced-sodium chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)

Preparation
In 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat; add bread crumbs. Cook about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until bread crumbs are toasted; remove from skillet and set aside.
Increase heat to high. In same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Cook chicken in butter about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown on outside and no longer pink in center. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
Reduce heat to medium-high. In same skillet, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Cook shallots, zucchini, carrots and pepper in butter about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender. Sprinkle with flour; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in broth and sherry. Heat to boiling; boil 1 minute, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened. Return chicken to skillet. Stir in half-and-half; heat just until hot.
To serve, spoon chicken mixture into serving dish. Sprinkle with cheese and toasted bread crumbs.
