Chicken and Ratatouille

Today I reached for the Binder. The Binder is filled with magazine and newspaper recipes I have collected since we have been married. My Mom had a drawer in the kitchen for her recipes. I have a Binder. I pulled out a recipe from Bon Appetit June 2008. Grilled Chicken and Ratatouille. Our grill is not completely operational so I did this on the stove top.

1 small zucchini, cut in 1/2 inch cubes
1 small eggplant, peeled, cut in 1/2 inch cubes

While the vegetables are cooking, salt and pepper the chicken breasts. In another saute pan heat a tbsp of olive oil. When it the oil is hot add the chicken. Saute until cooked through. Slice the chicken crosswise into 1/2 inch slices and serve with the ratatouille.
