Easy Ratatouille Recipe!

Who does not remember the famous Ratatouille movie? If you’re like me, I’m sure you know and love it. So that’s why I’ve decide to add a Ratatouille chicken recipe especially for you!

Chicken, pasta, and veggies. A great combination of protein and vitamins. A healthy meal and good habits! Eating well? Even when trying to make something very simple? I assure you it’s possible. (And because my Chef loves pasta, it makes my life easier :P). I’m sure this easy chicken ratatouille recipe will be different enough to offer you a nice change from your usual routine. We have to avoid boredom in the kitchen you know! I can’t wait to hear your ideas about my recipe!

Ingredients (Serves 8 ratatouilles):

5-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts,
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
1 green pepper, cut into strips
1 1/2 cups diced eggplant
1 zucchini, thinly sliced
1 small jar of pasta sauce (Tomato & Herb)
2-3 tablespoon of dry white wine (optional - especially if you’re serving children - like my Chef!)
3 cups penne rigate, or mostaccioli
Salt and pepper to taste
Grated cheese (optional)
Dried parsley

Directions:

Wash chicken breasts thoroughly. Dry with paper towels. Cut them into ½ - inch slices; or just medium sized cubes.

In large saucepan over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add chicken and green pepper strips.

Stirring frequently while cooking, until chicken is no longer pink.

Add the eggplant and zucchini. Continue cooking for about 3 more minutes. Stir frequently, or until vegetables are tender.

Stir in pasta sauce; heat to boiling. Stir to keep from burning. If you’re also adding the white wine, now is the time to do it!

Add a touch of salt and pepper.

Reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes; or until chicken is cooked thoroughly.

In the meantime, cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and rinse when done

My Chef's Tips:

This easy ratatouille recipe goes great with a little garden green salad as a starter.

To serve, put some pasta on a plate and spoon the chicken veggie sauce over it. Sprinkle with cheese, if you like. Repeat!

That’s it - that’s all there is to it!

Bon Appétit mes bons amis!
