Repeat this with each of the chicken breasts. Place the chicken breasts on a large cutting board after they are pounded and sprinkle with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Place about 2 pieces of carrot and 2 pieces of zucchini on top of the carrot close to edge of each piece of chicken. Place an equal amount of the butter mixture on each of the 4 pieces of chicken on top of the vegetables.
