Pesto Chicken Breasts with Veggies

4 medium skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/4 cup basil pesto sauce (make your own! There are tons of recipes out there for it!)
1 medium zucchini
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 loaf Italian Bread
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese

Preheat broiler. Brush both sides of chicken with pesto; arrange chicken on one end of a broiler pan. Broil 4 inches from heat for 5 minutes. Remove pan and turn chicken. Meanwhile, cut zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Brush slices with 1-1/2 tbsp of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pper. Arrange zucchini on pan next to chicken.
Broil for 5 to 8 minutes more or until chicken is done and zucchini is tender, turning zucchini once. Transfer chicken and zucchini to a serving platter; cover to keep warm.
Brush cut sides of bread with the remaining 1-1/2 tbsp olive oil. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Place bread, cut sides up, on broiler pan. Broil 4 inches from heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until toasted. Cut bread crosswise into slices and serve with chicken and zucchini.
