"In my mid-thirties I realized I had to do something about my health," says Katherine Preiss of Penfield, Pennsylvania. "So I took matters into my own hands and started creating more healthy recipes. This recipe is the result of several experiments with garden-fresh zucchini. I haven't heard any complaints yet!"

This was a very easy and nutritious entree! I used leftover rotisseried chicken which eliminated the need for bread crumbs and saved on prep and cooking time. A very easy recipe to double to 4 servings although do not add twice the garlic or onion. If you can't buy yellow squash, double the amount of zucchini. After the vegetables are almost tender, add the cubed chicken to the skillet and 1/4 water or chicken broth to keep the vegetables from burning as well as to allow the vegetables and chicken to steam a little before serving. A good complement is to serve with rice or pasta.
