Chicken Tonight!

Menu:

Grilled Chicken
Best Ever Ratatouille
Roast Sesame Broccoli

Best Ever Ratatouille

2 zucchini, chopped medium
1 yellow squash, chopped medium
½ red onion, chopped small
a couple t chopped garlic
6 plum tomatoes, chopped medium
1 orange pepper, chopped medium
1 red pepper, chopped medium
3 T parsley, chopped
3 T summer savory (dried)
1 T oregano (dried)
1 t sugar
olive oil for sautéing
s and p
½ cup fresh basil in slivers

Do in this order:

Heat olive oil in large deep skillet and sauté zucchini and yellow squash for 5 minutes—Remove and set aside

Next, sauté the peppers, onions, garlic for 4 minutes. Add tomatoes and sauté some more

Add squash back into pan with parsley, savory, sugar, oregano and s and p. Reduce heat to very low and let it cook for an hour. Take a look every now and then—it shouldn’t be burning—heat should be really low.

Add basil and some sea salt and enjoy!





Grilled Chicken

I use boneless breasts

Marinate in some kind of salad dressing—tonight I used Kraft Sun-Dried tomato vinaigrette for several hours.

Heat grill to high

Put breasts on for 5 minutes, then turn and lower heat for about 5 more




Roast Sesame Broccoli

Oven: 450

1 head of broccoli, broken into florets
Toss these with olive oil and spread on cookie tin and roast for 20 minutes
Juice a lemon. Toss roasted broccoli with lemon juice, 1 T soy sauce and some sesame seeds. Roast broccoli rocks!
