This is great! I made it for supper, so started with sauteed chicken breasts (seasoned with sea salt and fresh rosemary), before adding zucchini etc. I also added about a tbs of fresh minced basil. My DH had 3 helpings! Really good leftovers for lunch the next day as well. Thanks for a great recipe, it's a keeper!
