Method of making
if anybody’s like me they like zucchini squash and sweet corn and chicken yes and this recipe has all of that and more wait until you try it so we are going to take you back and we’re going to show you what we do we’re starting out by dicing up some yellow squash and zucchini here we have two zucchinis and one squash but you can have whichever one you want however much you want yeah you may like one not the other it don’t matter and I’m cutting them long ways here so that we can Cube these up because I like them I like them cubed more than slices
when they’re sliced thin they kind of get a little soggy so I I like to do them like this you know that works yeah and they’re kind of bite-sized that way you know look at that it’s pretty so we’ll get all those dice then we have some rits crackers and this is one sleeve that we’re mashing up here which is one and 1/2 cups and we’re just going to crush those up set them aside we got our Skillet on medium heat and we’ve added about two tablespoons of butter one diced onion sweet onion got to have that sweet onion and I don’t want my butter to burn so I’m going to add a little

bit of olive oil olive oil about a tablespoon and I’m just going to cook these until they get tender two teaspoons of minced garlic and we’re just going to stir that around for about a minute or two let it cook and now we’re going to put in the zucchini and the Squash and I like to put those in next and I like to coat it in all that oil and butter and onion and garlic flavor get them all coated you know got butter and garlic m M yeah beautiful beautiful thing yes and then one can of sweet corn and this is drained you can use frozen corn if you’d like whatever you got on hand I

half a cup of sour cream I never seen I never seen any Ritz grow they have to there because they use them so much I know that’s funny down there is breakfast lunch and dinner oh once we get that mixed in oh we got to have our cheese half cups of Mexican Bland cheese and we’re going to save about a cup for the top right get that mixed in there and then here we go with chicken and this is just pre-cooked chicken you could use rotisserie or if you put some in the crock pot and cooked it that way or just leftovers you can put about a cup or two probably about two cups of chicken in there stir it around a little bit I don’t know what we do that chicken I don’t think chicken and
