Well, on this thoroughly disgusting wet night I thought I would share a yummy dish with you! We had this for dinner, and I for one really liked it! Kent wishes he'd pounded the chicken a bit flatter and Tiana was wishing her tummy was a little more settled for something so rich.
Chicken Provolone
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 oz. each)
1/4 tsp. pepper
Butter-flavored cooking spray
8 fresh basil leaves
4 thin slices prosciutto or deli ham
4 slices provolone cheese
Sprinkle chicken with pepper. In a large nonstick skillet coated with butter-flavored cooking spray, cook chicken over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side or until juices run clear.
Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet; top with basil, prosciutto and cheese. Broil 6-8 inches from heat for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Mediterranean Summer Squash
1/4 c. chopped onion
1 Tbs. olive oil
1 small yellow summer squash, thinly sliced
1 small zucchini, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 plum tomato, seeded and chopped
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 c. crumbled feta cheese (I used fat-free)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
(I had some leftover asparagus spears and I cut them into 1-1/2" pieces and added, too!)
In a large skillet, saute onion in oil until tender. Add the squash, zucchini and garlic (and the asparagus!); saute 6-8 minutes or until tender. Stir in the remaining ingredients; heat through.

This is the sort of night that practically begs me to bake cookies, but I really don't need any and I'm the only one who would eat them, so I'm being strong and saying
NO!
I hope you are warm and dry where you are!
