Recipe Of The Month

Summer Chicken

6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 cups summer squash
2 cups zucchini
2 red bell peppers (for color)
2 medium tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh basil
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper or 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese

I prefer using a wok to make this, but a cast-iron skillet works just as well.
Prepare everything as follows:- cut chicken into 1/2" cubes- slice or cube squash, zucchini, and the peppers- slice each tomato into 8 wedges Pour oil into wok and stirfry veggies just until tender (about 10 minutes), set aside.
Stirfry chicken until thoroughly cooked (15-20 minutes).
Add vegetables and seasoning, stirfry for another 5 minutes.
For regular chicken use black pepper, to kick it up a notch use the cayenne pepper.
Spoon onto serving dishes and sprinkle with freshly shredded parmesean cheese.
NOTE: I've also made this with turkey breasts and it comes out just as well.

If you have a recipe you would like to share, please contact Tara by August 25th and we'll add it to the next month's newsletter. First recipe received will be featured.

What's Not

The bouts of sad news that creep up on the board from time to time. We're all such a big family here and it stinks to see anyone suffering. If anything good can be said, it's that all of you band together to help each other out and I think that's wonderful. Thank you!
