Zucchini Ribbons With Goat Cheese image

I came up with this summer side dish when we discovered a couple of very large zucchini hiding in the garden. I sometimes add some cooked chicken to make a nice one-pan entree. If you don't like goat cheese, try subbing feta or a good Parmesan.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
