    Recipe. ;)

    I literally threw all the ingredients in a pot: 1 large zucchini - diced, not too small 1 medium yellow squash - diced, not too small 2 cups fresh spinach 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms 1 large sweet onion diced - not too small 2 cans of diced tomatoes (the regular sized cans) + 4 cans of water (I used the same cans) 1 breast meat of rotisserie chicken 1 drumstick meat of rotisserie chicken Seasonings:Mrs Dash-original, red pepper flakes, and black pepper This was pretty much it. I cooked it on the stove-top on medium -high for about an hour, this gave me softer vegetables, but you can probably cook for less for more sturdy vegetables.

    @SGH‌ the last brisky I made she ate some but, with restraint. She ate reasonable portions for several days :) (that's her absolute favorite I make---she does NOT eat pork). She loves everything off the egg but, especially brisky. Yep, that's my girl ;;)

    I'm not sure how many of y'all like a homemade chunky soup. But, this rocked! And ya can of course substitute Spatchcock vs the Publix rotisserie. Funny thing is I'm making a Spatchcock tomorrow most likely. Go figure. /:)

    @robnybbq‌ I hope you like it. This was a simple to throw together meal. I actually got caught up watching my PLL (Pretty Little Liars). It was real easy to make and tasty with a low cal count ;-)

    @robnybbq‌ And Blake said this could be done easily on the egg in a Dutch Oven. I think he was just trying to hint around he wants a cast iron Dutch Oven . :)) He doesn't have one yet but, something tells me he will be asking for one before winter as we like homemade chili too ;-)

    Yeah  -Was thinking to spatchcock the chicken then simmer in a DO on the Egg.

    Chilli is very good on the Egg

    Thanks

    Looks good. Sounds good. But over 600 mg of sodium in one serving leaves me out. Not good for those of us on a low or reduced sodium diet. Maybe egged chicken with no (or little) salt added and Hunts no salt added tomatoes would do it.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    @robnybbq‌ thanks again. Post it if ya make some :-)

    @Carolina Q‌ The sodium was much higher than I prefer as well but, this was a "quick" meal using canned produce I already had on hand. To get lower sodium, which I also prefer, use salt free canned produce. Or go with all fresh produce. This was stuff I had on the shelf already. What I'm saying is don't discount it you can make it fit your needs. :)

    I didn't mean to imply that I was discounting it... Just that I would be careful. It looks and sounds delicious. Minus the salt.

    Salt is delicious, poisonous, essential and has zero calories.   Gotta love it.
