Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast
• 1/3 cup half-and-half
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 (10 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
• 3/4 cup skim milk
• 1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
• 1 cup zucchini
• 1/2 small red bell pepper
• 1/3 cup basil leaves
• 2 teaspoons curry
• pepper

Recipe

• 1 chop chicken into bite sized pieces and cook most of the way through in a saute pan.
• 2 pour half and half into a pan and heat over medium.
• 3 when half and half is hot, whisk in the cheese and mix until it's melted. stir constantly or it will separate. (words of experience there.).
• 4 add cream of mushroom soup to milk and cheese.
• 5 pour the skim milik into the soup can and swish around, add to mixture.
• 6 add zucchini, pepper, and basil leaves. you can chop the leaves, or leave them whole. i leave them whole so picky mcpickerson (my husband) can pull them out. i just eat them.
• 7 add curry and pepper.
• 8 heat over medium heat for about 10 minutes until zucchini is cooked through. add yogurt to give it a little "bite" (i use greek style homemade yogurt with a good tang).
• 9 serve over pasta, rice, or gnocchi.
• 10 obviously you can add more curry to taste (picky mcp doesn't like curry), and add other veggies. it's very versatile.
