Gardeners across the land love this time of year. The vegetable plants they have nurtured for months are ripe with tomatoes, squash, peppers and all types of produce. And that means summer is America’s best time of year for cooking — and especially for grilling outdoors.

The grill has become the ultimate summer accessory. With so many options and accessories on the market, it’s possible to create almost any type of dish with our grills. And of course, grilling outside on the deck or patio means that you’re not removed from the conversation and laughter of family or friends who have gathered.

In July and August, the D&Co. Kitchen Club Grill & Chill Collection is ready to deliver a summer selection built to add flavor to your favorites, whether you plucked the vegetables from your backyard garden or gathered them with a stop at the farmers’ market.

Just imagine marinated grilled chicken bursting with sweet and spicy goodness using the D&Co. Kitchen Ginger Apricot Teriyaki Glaze or a cozy cup of after-dinner Earl Grey Supreme Black Tea. Dresden & Company’s Lifestyle Expert Sharon Wood created the recipes below to showcase a couple of easy options that are sure to delight your guests.

D&Co. Kitchen Chipotle Chicken and Penne Pasta

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1″ chunks
1 pound penne pasta
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 small zucchini, cut in half lengthwise and sliced thinly
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup heavy cream
6 ounces shredded Parmesan cheese
1 10-ounce jar of D&Co Kitchen Creamy Chipotle Dip
Optional – replace zucchini with asparagus

 

Instructions
Add the pasta to your boiling water and cook per package instructions, or per your preference and then drain. In a large skillet add the butter and melt over medium heat. Add the bell peppers, zucchini and onions and cook until just translucent. Add in the garlic and cook an extra minute. Remove the vegetables and add in the olive oil. Add the chicken to the pan and turn the heat up to medium-high. Brown the chicken on both sides. Add a jar of D&Co Kitchen Creamy Chipotle Dip. Add the bell pepper mixture back to the pan. Stir well, then add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook for 2 minutes and add in the pasta. Stir to coat everything. Serve with any garnishes you’d like.
