Ingredients

• 1 chicken breast for every 2 people being served. I usually use boneless/skinless for this UNLESS I am going to cook them over a wood fire. Then I would use skin on and bone in!
• 1 slice thick cut bacon (apple smoked or maple will add another flavor level). Choose a bacon that you love the taste of.
• The amounts of the vegetable you use depend upon HOW MANY people you are feeding. For only 2 I would use 1/2 of each color of bell pepper for example. For 8 I would probably use a whole or nearly whole bell pepper.
• Red, Green, Yellow, orange bell peppers, cored, seeds removed, sliced into strips.
• vidalia onions (sweet and mild) or red onions (zing) cut into strips
• yellow and green squash cut slightly thick then in half
• asparagus cut into 1 1/2 inch bites
• Cherry or grape tomatoes
• garlic cloves left whole for now
• mushrooms (your favorite type, of course!)
• fresh green beans
• broccoli and cauliflower can be used too; but make them bite sized pieces
• olive oil (Have at least a cup or two available depending on how many you are cooking for. You need this to roast the vegetables AND for making your croutons!)
• Day old French or Italian bread Cut up into good sized bites, bigger than what would come in a box of croûtons, I cut it up 1 1/2 to 2 inches.
• Fresh grated Parmesan or romano cheese
• garlic granules, fresh cracked pepper, italian seasonings...or fresh marjoram, basil and thyme, (cut up the basil into small bits)
• Some times I'll add some peas and corn to this as well. Also optional would be a couple of boiled eggs...
• kosher salt and Fresh cracked black pepper (white pepper could be added, but it is going to add a significant jolt in the heat/pepper "pop" department!)
