Here’s the Quick Take recipe I prepared Friday on WKYT-TV’s 27 Newsfirst at Noon. My cooking segment airs between 12:35 and 12:40 p.m. Fridays on WKYT, then becomes available on Kentucky.com at 1 p.m.
Take advantage of summer produce and make this quick dish.
Grilled chicken and ratatouille
2 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise
1 medium Japanese eggplant, halved lengthwise
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch-wide strips
1 red onion, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges (leave root end intact)
2 medium tomatoes, halved crosswise
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (about 3 pounds)
1/3 cup thinly sliced basil
1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
Prepare gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Place first 5 ingredients in large bowl. Drizzle oil over and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Grill vegetables until tender and slightly charred, about 4 minutes for peppers and 7 minutes for remaining vegetables. Transfer to cutting board.
Place chicken breasts in same large bowl. Turn to coat with any remaining oil in bowl. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Grill chicken, covered, until cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Let stand 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, coarsely chop vegetables and transfer to another large bowl. Add basil and vinegar and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Slice chicken crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices; serve with ratatouille.

I’ve been trying to find today’s (08/08/08) recipe for the zucchini/tomatoes cooked in a skillet! I was listening but did not have a way to write it down! I believe it aired after 12:30 today! Thanks so much.
