Chicken Ratatouille

Served over rice, this delicious dish is loaded with vegetables and skinless chicken breasts, making it a lower fat, lower salt one-dish meal.
  • 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 4 medium chicken breast halves, skinned, and fat removed, boned, and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 zucchini, about 7 inches long, unpeeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 small eggplant, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium green pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 can (16 oz) whole tomatoes, cut up
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1-1/2 tsp dried basil, crushed
  • 1 Tbsp fresh parsley, minced
  • to taste black pepper

1. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet. Add chicken and saute about 3 minutes, or until lightly browned.

2. Add zucchini, eggplant, onion, green pepper, and mushrooms. Cook about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Add tomatoes, garlic, basil, parsley, and pepper; stir and continue cooking about 5 minutes, or until chicken is tender.

4. Broil 6 inches from heat, 15 minutes on each side, brushing with marinade every 5 minutes. Discard any leftover marinade.

What marinade? Why should it be broiled if the chicken is already cooked until tender? I think there is a mix-up with another recipe.

Hi,
The way I understand it is to put in the oven on broil for 15 minutes. This will brown it and complete the cooking.

I am interested in this recipe but I don't understand Step 4. Is this a misprint? Thanks.
