This one is easy. The family wants a healthy, hearty, rib sticking dish. Heathy (simple marinara with summer veggies), hearty (whole grain pasta), and rib sticking (chicken) is what they get. Here it is.
Chicken Veggie Marinara
Your basic marinara sauce
1 zucchini squash (quartered and thinly sliced)
1 yellow summer squash (quartered and thinly sliced)
1 yellow onion (quartered and thinly sliced)
1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast
1 lb whole wheat pasta (I use rotini - lots of surface area)
Get 5 qts of salted water to a steady boil, add the pasta and cook till al dente. Drain, lightly cover with olive oil, and set aside.
Prepare the marinara as directed.
Once that is started, toss the squash and onions in 1 tbsn olive oil, add salt and pepper, and place in oven preheated at 375,
Cook the marinara and veggies for 30 minutes, flipping the veggies halfway through.
Add 1 1/2 cups of marinara, 1 cup of veggies, and 1 cup of pasta in a saute pan. Warm through and serve.
