Coat the chicken with the Bisquick mixture.

Sautéed Squash

Ingredients:

1 TSsp olive oil 

1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic (finely minced)

3 medium zucchini (sliced about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick, in rounds or half moons)

3 medium yellow squash, sliced 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick, in rounds of half moons)

2-3 tomatoes (chopped)

1/4 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)

How to make it:

In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, sauté the garlic and onion in the olive oil until the onions start to turn translucent, stirring constantly so the garlic doesn't burn, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the zucchini and squash, tossing well with the olive oil mixture.

Saute over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.

Add the chopped tomatoes.

Continue cooking and stirring until the zucchini and squash are tender and tomatoes have broken down, about another 2 minutes.

Toss the hot mixture with the parmesan cheese.

Serve immediately and Enjoy!
