Grilled Chicken and Ratatouille
This is one of my favorite recipes prior to my WLS. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
2 medium zucchini, halved lenthwise
1 medium eggplant, halved lengthwise
1 red beel pepper, cut into strips
1 red onion, peeled and cut into wedges
2 medium tomatoes, halved crosswise
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/3 cup thinly sliced basil (can use dried as well)
1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
The recipe calls for doing this on a grill - I use my George Forman (because let's face it, I burn anything that touches a grill.) Anyways, heat grill (medium to high heat). Place first 5 ingredients in large bowl. Drizzle oil over and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Grill vegetables until tender (about 7 minutes.) Transfer to cutting board. Place chicken in the same large bowl. Turn to coat with any remaining oil in bowl. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Grill chicken until cooked through. Let stand for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, coarsely chop vegetables and transfer to another large bowl. Add basil and vinegar and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Slice chicken crosswise into 1/2 inch think slices; serve with ratatouille.
