Steps:
- In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter in the oil over medium high heat. Season chicken with half of the salt and half of the pepper, and add it to skillet. Cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to large plate or platter, and cover to keep warm.
- Pour off fat from skillet, and add squash, zucchini, and tomato. Season with remaining salt and pepper. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until squash is slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat, and return chicken to skillet. Cover partially. Cook until squash is soft, and chicken is white throughout but still juicy, about 5 minutes longer.

GRILLED SPLIT CHICKEN WITH ROSEMARY AND GARLIC
I found this recipe because I always seem to have fresh rosemary on hand. It makes up in a snap and I have marinated the chicken up to 3 days in the fridge. To make things simple, use 4 chicken breast.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, flavorful ingredients. Use ripe summer squash, tender chicken breasts, and fragrant rosemary for the best results.
- Marinate the chicken and squash separately. This helps to infuse both ingredients with flavor and prevents the chicken from drying out.
- Skewer the chicken and squash alternately. This creates a visually appealing presentation and helps to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
- Grill the brochettes over medium heat. This helps to prevent the chicken from burning and allows the squash to cook through.
- Baste the brochettes with the reserved marinade. This helps to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
- Serve the brochettes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. A simple vinaigrette or tzatziki sauce are both great options.
