Fast and easy chicken . . .

There are times when you have to get dinner on the table but time and ingredients might not be up to your usual wants/needs. This is a simple recipe that doesn't require a lot of specialized components but will fill the dinner time need in a short time. What I like about this recipe is that you can adjust it to what you actually have on hand.

Chicken and Vegetables

4 chicken breast halves
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons oil (I love olive oil!)
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
1 medium yellow squash, sliced.
2 cups cut up broccoli

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in skillet: brown the chicken on both sides. Add chicken broth; cover and cook approximately 15-20 minutes or until chicken is tender and cooked through. Add vegetables; sprinkle with a bit more salt and pepper. Cover and cook 5-6 minutes until vegetables are crisp tender. Makes four servings.

This would go great with rice or a side of cheesy pasta.
