Chicken Ratatouille Recipe
Hi Hi Hey! We’re half way to Friday and I’m happy about it. Normally, I like to take it slow and enjoy THE day, buuuut. Kids need to go back to school. Like, stat. The sooner August 18th arrives, the better for us all. God help me.
There, I said it. Please don’t kill me, but it’s 12 hours a day of:
“I’m boooored!”
“Barbie is miiiiiine!”
“WHY wasn’t I at your weddingggggg???!”
“Let it go, LET IT GOOOOO!”
“I hate my sister! Why is she older than me?”
… you want me to go on? Yeah, me either. And that’s just the first 15 minutes of the day, during breakfast.
Wanna know, though, what keeps them busy? Chopping up veggies! WITH a dull knife. Like, super dull. And I did that on purpose. It took them an hour to chop up all of this. AND… they loved it! It was the quietest 1 hour in 3 months.
Right before all the dicing and chopping, we were at Baba’s (Grandma) running through her beautiful garden. From basil, to peppers, to zucchini, to parsley, to tomatoes, to cucumbers, etc… she has every.thing.
How To Make Chicken Ratatouille
This Chicken Ratatouille is what my mom would make for us couple of times a week during the summer months. It can be ready in about 25 minutes with very minimal prep – maybe it isn’t minimal if it took 2 little ones an hour to chop ’em up, but whatever – and it only requires simple, fresh ingredients, and it’s healthy. I mean, that’s all veggies on that plate! plus chicken. and brown rice underneath. BUT, to feel like a good, solid, wholesome dinner with protein and veggies annnnd also still be saucy and delicious? ‘Nuff said. It’s just how we rollll.
An additional bonus? One skillet and a chopping board. No mess, easy clean-up, wholesome meal. We are WINNING!
ENJOY!

Wow this food looks so great. I am certainly going to try this.

Sounds like my mom’s ghiveci.
Yep!! We call it gjuvech, and my mom made it with pork, not chicken. 😀
I spelled it as my Romanian mother said it. She didn’t use meat and dipped bread into it.
I can’t wait to make this recipe.
Looks so good but I might wait for the weekend to chop up my vegetables.
