CHICKEN RATATOUILLE
This French dish uses loads of Mediterranean vegetables and is a perfect way to use up the zucchini flooding your garden! We like to add chicken to ours to make it a whole meal, and we usually serve it over rice. We usually do half a breast per person. This is our family's version, so it doesn't have the eggplant or the fresh tomatoes that you see in most traditional ratatouille recipes (maybe when the kids grow up a little?), but this recipe did get the kids to start eating zucchini and mushrooms, which we never thought would happen!

ROUND 2 RECIPE: CHICKEN CACCIATORE
Steps:
- In a large bowl or resealable plasic bag, add the flour, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning and salt and pepper, to taste. Combine well, then add the chicken and toss to coat.
- In a large high-sided skillet with a lid, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Shake off excess flour from the chicken and fry in the oil until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and reserve.
- To the pan, add the mushrooms and bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes, until slightly softened. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, the tomato soup, and the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and add the reserved chicken. Cover with a lid and cook until the chicken is completely cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the lid 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time, to reduce the sauce slightly. Transfer the cacciatore to a serving platter, sprinkle with parsley and serve.
