    Myrecipes.com has this neat feature where you can plug in the ingredients you have on hand and it'll give you some recipe suggestions based on what you input. Here's what I came up with for your three

    http://search.myrecipes.com/ingredient-chef.html?Ntt="zucchini"+"chicken"+"buttermilk"&N=&qt=zucchini|chicken|buttermilk&spn=

    Allrecipes.com has the same search feature but didn't come up with anything for your 3 ingredients. But here's the link anyway in case you want to play around with it:

    Here's what I do when faced with such a dilemma: google the ingredients and see what pops up. Or, in this case, I googled "buttermilk chicken zucchini casserole." Then, if I don't find what I'm looking for, I remove some of the ingredients and google again. What I found with the first search led me to think, hmmph. I bet I could put chicken in just about any zucchini casserole. So my next search was "zucchini buttermilk casserole" and got to "Light Zucchini Casserole" on Yummly. There's no earthly reason you couldn't add shredded chicken to that. If you don't have biscuit mix at hand, there are lots of recipes online for homemade versions -- basically flour, baking powder, salt & butter.

    Google is my cooking buddy -- especially when I have a few ingredients that need using right away. One night I had an eggplant that needed to be used ASAP and a previously baked sweet potato in the same boat. So I googled "eggplant sweet potato recipe" and found lots of recipes for curries, some Thai, some Indian. Who knew? We had a curry for supper and it was delicious!

    Dip zucchini slices in buttermilk and egg white mixture, then panko/parmesan, bake at 400 for 10 min each side. Serve with plain chicken (or jazz up with a sauce - do you have Dijon mustard/honey or agave or brown sugar/smidge olive oil, salt pepper?

    in! this is like Chopped or Iron Chef omg two of my favorite shows!

    Make an egg wash with the buttermilk and then coat the chicken in bread crumbs (or almond flour, my favorite) and then make a zucchini pesto, just put the zucchini, some basil, olive oil, and garlic in a blender until it looks like sauce. Then put it over your breaded chicken and bake! You could also add something like skim mozzarella over your chicken, that would be deeelish :) Let us know what you end up making!

    I am so fascinated with how they just pull those random recipes outta nowhere... they're like "cotton candy? no prob, lemme just make this amazing cotton candy reduction!"

    If you have bread you could toast it and smash it with a meat pounder or hammer to make breadcrumbs! I cut the crust off to do this though. You could also use cornflakes or even just flour instead of panko. I can't keep straight up breadcrumbs and panko in my house or else everything would get breaded and deep fried, no lies... haha
