Chicken bruschetta for dinner tonight. I put in a bunch of extra zucchini since I had a big pile from my last CSA box. Tasty and warming for one of the first days that felt like fall :-)

This recipe comes from my local Central Market. They often have recipes near their weekly specials, and this one was a real winner! The only thing I changed was using about 1/4 tsp of dried red pepper flakes instead of whole dried chiles, as I could not find ...
