Chicken & Posh Squash

Recently I made "Mediterranean Chicken & Vegetables" from Pillsbury Classic Cookbooks #335 (Money Saving Meals). The recipe is pretty straight forward and could easily be adapted to use many different summer vegetables.



Ingredients: chicken thighs, zucchini (courgette, if you want to be posh), bell pepper, red onion, dried rosemary, olive oil, lemon juice, S&P.

I made a few tweaks to the original recipe based on the ingredients I had on hand and the amount of energy I wished to expend. I:

• Used boneless skinless chicken thighs, instead of bone-in, skin-on ones
• Crushed the garlic rather than chopped it (smash with knife or go choppychoppy? Hulk smash!)
• Omitted the red potato, because I chopped all the veg the night before
• Also made the marinade the night before
• Baked everything all higgledy-piggledy in the pan rather than separating the chicken from the vegetables

(The recipe was all insistent the ingredients not marinade more than six hours so I went with 4.5, but I don't see why the chicken couldn't marinade overnight).

Overall, we liked this recipe. It was all garlicky and lemony and good and we will be eating it again. Next time, I might even throw in some halved cherry or plum tomatoes just before I pop the pan in the oven.
