Spicy Chicken, Squash, and Tomatoes is packed with vitamin rich veggies and lean protein, making it the perfect dish to kick off Heart Health month!

February is Heart Health month! Heart health is near and dear to me personally because, like many middle-aged people, my husband has hypertension (high blood pressure) and high cholesterol. Lee was diagnosed after he started having an irregular heartbeat about 10 years ago.

He has been taking medication for both conditions since then, and I can rest a little easier knowing we are doing everything we can to take care of him.

When Lee was diagnosed I had to learn how to eat healthier. Like many people, we just ate whatever we wanted, not really thinking about the consequences these unhealthy foods might have on our bodies.

The single most important thing I learned was to eat lots of healthy fruits and veggies, lean proteins, and small amounts of dairy each day. After nutrition comes exercise.

Exercising for about 30 minutes, 5 times a week has many health benefits. Not only is it great for the heart, it is also great for overall health.

These are the ingredients needed to make this simple and delicious, heart healthy Spicy Chicken, Squash, and Tomatoes. ⇑

I cut my squash into nice, bite-sized pieces. I used 1 pound of zucchini and 1 pound of yellow squash. ⇓

This Spicy Chicken, Squash, and Tomatoes is great for any night of the week because it is healthful, easy and quick! I use Hunt’s® Diced Tomatoes with Spicy Red Pepper to turn this good dish into a great dish.

The spicy red pepper takes it to the next level. I can also feel good about purchasing a brand that supports causes that are important.

• Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Chop zucchini and yellow squash in fourths lengthwise, then into bite sized pieces. (see picture above) Dice onion.

Notes

I did not drain the tomatoes for this dish because I wanted the juicy goodness in the bottom of my bowl. You could drain one of the cans of tomatoes if you don't want so much juice. I would not recommend draining both cans.
