a potluck, some chicken

It's been a while since I've had a group of friends together for dinner. And for once, nearly everyone contributed. There was a delicious spinach dip, some hummus, a great summer salad, and plenty of beverages.
When I host a dinner, I usually provide the main course.

ZESTY BAKED CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES
- layer sliced yellow summer squash, carrots, sweet potato, and red onions in a 13x9 Pyrex.

- pan fry the chicken with either olive or sesame oil until golden, season with paprika, cayenne, garlic powder.
