    Amish Garden Chicken Bake

    'I’ve had a fair number of people comment about the dearth of vegetable recipes on this website and in the Amish Cook column over the years. And they’ll ask questions like “don’t the Amish ever eat vegetables?  And my answer is usually the same: emphatically, yes. And the veggies are showcased in recipes like this Summer Garden Chicken Bake!

    The Amish do, as a general rule, eat lots of fruits and veggies. That’s why you see most Amish homes with sprawling and bountiful gardens. But here’s the thing, if an Amish homemaker grows rows and rows of green beans, usually those green beans will be served in a bowl with supper, seasoned lightly, but other than that there’s not much of a “recipe” to give you. It’d be like giving you a recipe for a glass of water.

    Yes, occasionally you’ll see green bean casserole or green bean salad on the menu, and I always post those types of recipes. But for the most part, those green beans are just eaten as is. Ditto with broccoli, heads of lettuce, cabbage, a lot of vegetables are literally farm to fork. If an Amish person grows potatoes or sweet potatoes, they’ll just be baked, buttered, and served, so not really a “recipe” for that.

    This Amish Garden Chicken Bake recipe comes to me from an Amish woman in Michigan who uses four of the favorite veggies from an Amish garden in this recipe: zucchini, tomato, peppers, and homegrown onions.  Those four veggies are a staple in almost any Amish garden. Tomatoes, wow, there are so many uses for tomatoes. This casserole, though, is just a great way to use all of those veggies and pairs it with protein-packed chicken.

    Most Amish farms do have an ample supply of chickens wandering around. So, yeah, no need to visit the Colonel on an Amish farm. Just dispatch a chicken, pluck and process and you have a versatile and plentiful supply of protein.

    This recipe calls for half a cup of Bisquick, but there are homemade versions of the baking mix you can use also. The eggs would be farm fresh, so this will be a very “non-processed “farm supper.

    Load this up with fresh veggies for color and taste.

    You can use whatever kind of cheese you want in this recipe, there's really no right or wrong.

    This recipe only calls for 1 cup of chicken. You could add more.

    The Bisquick is what gives this more the feel of a loaf meal and just adds a super a taste.

    My Grandma always kept a box of Bisquick on hand. To this day, I still like to keep a familiar yellow box of Bisquick in my cabinet, even though I really don't use it much. But it does work super well in this Amish Garden Chicken Bake.

    The Bisquick adds a nice sort of crust, the zucchini and tomato sings of summer, and the fresh chicken adds protein. This is a perfect farm to fork dish!
