List of Ingredients




1 tbsp. olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
3 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 lb. baking potatoes, peeled and quartered
3 eggs, beaten
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Cayenne Pepper
1 1/2 to 2 lbs. zucchini, halved and cubed
8 oz. package of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
8 oz. sour cream



Recipe



Place cubed zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Place a paper towel on top and add weight on top to force water from zucchini. Let sit for 30 minutes. Force excess water from zucchini by hand. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350° and lightly grease a 10 x 8 baking dish with cooking spray. Heat olive oil in a saute pan and add onions, garlic, and carrots. Season with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat until onions are soft and carrots are slightly tender, about 20 minutes. Place potatoes in a large mixing bowl and add eggs, salt and pepper, and a dash of cayenne pepper. Stir to coat. Add reserved zucchini, onion mixture, and half of cheese packet. Mix ingredients together well and place in baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and drizzle with olive oil.

Cover with tin foil and bake in the oven for 1 hour. Remove tin foil and turn on broiler. Broil until top of casserole is browned and bubbly.

While casserole is baking, season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and cook on grill or in stovetop grill pan, about five minutes each side. Set chicken breasts aside.

Place 1 chicken breast on each plate and mound a quarter of the casserole on top of the chicken. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and freshly ground black pepper. Serve with a piece of crusty French bread and a nice brown ale, like Yards Special Ale from Philly.

VARIATION 1: You can also brown the chicken breasts lightly on both sides and place them in the bottom of the baking dish before adding the casserole mix. Follow directions from there.

VARIATION 2: We used what we had on hand to make this dish...you could mix and match, just as long as your substitutions have similar consistencies.
