Zucchini And Cheesy Rice Skillet
"When it comes to mid-summer and zucchini, we typically just slice’ em and brush ’em with olive oil and a few dried herbs. Then they go onto the grill along with whatever we happen to be grilling that night. Not this time. Grilled vegetables are tasty, but these zucchini ended up in this Cheesy Rice Skillet…and they were delicious! Zucchini contain a lot of water. That’s part of the reason why they grow so quickly in the backyard. One day, that zucchini looks fine. The next day, it’s as big as your forearm. The secret to this recipe is shredding the zucchini on a coarse grater. (You’ll have the grater out for the cheese anyways!) This cheesy chicken and rice skillet recipe calls for both Seriously Sharp Cheddar and Monterey Jack. The result is a cheesy and delicious one-skillet meal. This cheesy rice could actually be a side dish by itself – it’s that tasty! I went with a Cajun twist to this recipe with the andouille sausage and Cajun seasonings. You could certainly play around with these flavors, though. Italian seasonings and Italian sausage would be a fun combination of flavors."
