Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

1 cup cooked and shredded chicken breast

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup whole wheat flour

½ cup shredded coconut

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ cup honey or maple syrup

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp salt

Optional: ¼ cup chocolate chips or nuts for added texture

Instructions
 

Preheat the Skillet: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, allowing it to warm up for about 5 minutes while you prepare the cookie mix.

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the grated zucchini, egg, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until well combined.

      Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If you’re adding chocolate chips or nuts, fold them in at this stage.

          Cook in Skillet: Lightly grease the preheated skillet with cooking oil or butter. Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the skillet, shaping them into cookie-size rounds.

            Cook Until Golden: Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side or until the cookies are golden brown and firm to the touch. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your skillet.

              Add Chicken: Once the cookies are golden, reduce the heat to low. Evenly distribute the shredded chicken over the cookies in the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it warm for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the chicken to heat through and flavors to meld.

                Serve and Enjoy: Remove from heat, let cool for a minute, and serve warm. These skillet cookies can be enjoyed as a savory meal or a delightful snack!
