     We're into the fall herbs now; the summer herbs are loosing their flavor.  The zucchini is sautéed separately and combined with the rice when done.  A simple meal, loaded with late summer flavors.

Chicken Breasts with Sage, Rosemary and Lemon

   Sage and rosemary work well together and, along with the lemon, make these simple chicken breasts a tender, succulent, flavorful dinner.

Tomato Scented Basmati Rice with Zucchini (Courgette) 

Total time: 30 minutes
    I don't normally put zucchini in my Spanish Rice, Cooking it separately and adding it later seemed to bring out the best flavors of both the rice and the vegetables.  Check the rice towards the end of the cooking time; you may need to add 1 - 2 tbs of water, depending on the tomato.  Finish with hot sauce if you like.
