- 2 oz. prosciutto

- 1/2 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Seed and dice tomatoes. Coarsely chop basil leaves and prosciutto. In small bowl, mix Parmesan cheese with tomatoes, basil, and prosciutto.
- Carefully loosen skin on each chicken leg by pushing fingers between skin and meat. Spread one-sixth of tomato mixture over meat under skin on each chicken leg; tuck skin under leg to hold mixture securely in place.
- Arrange chicken legs, skin-side up, in one layer in 13-inch by 9-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle chicken with pepper and 1 teaspoon salt. Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes, brushing chicken occasionally with pan drippings.
- Cut zucchini into large chunks; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Arrange zucchini around chicken legs in baking dish and continue baking 25 to 30 minutes longer or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a knife and zucchini is tender-crisp.
