Bright red tomatoes, green bell peppers, yellow corn, green and yellow zucchinis all come together to make a colorful and flavor packed summer side dish that is perfect for an easy weeknight dinner. With some cooked chicken thrown into the mix, this could easily be a complete meal by itself.

This year, I am thrilled to already have Roma tomatoes in my kitchen and little pear shaped sunburst tomatoes as well. When I saw that we had a couple beautiful red tomatoes this morning, I immediately knew that this skillet was going to happen tonight.Get New Recipessent to your inbox!Sign me up!We never share your information with third parties and will protect it in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
