Italian salad dressing does wonders for chicken breasts, especially if they are left to marinate for several hours in the fridge. Then just before grilling, each breast gets a sprinkling of lemon pepper.
When your garden is full of fresh veggies, this is the recipe to reach for. All you need is a salad and you have a terrific late-summer meal.--Debbie Jones, California, Maryland
These meaty mushrooms marinate in oil, onion, garlic and vinegar for an hour before they are tossed on a hot grill to cook to perfection. Absolutely sublime.
A spicy tomato-based sauce loaded with fresh zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms and spicy Italian sausage is served over browned polenta rounds and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. You can substitute yellow squash or eggplant for the zucchini depending on your tastes.
You can make this dish ahead--just cover and refrigerate or freeze after you've spread the final layer of marinara sauce. Serve with a salad and breadsticks to round out the meal.
