Try this easy zucchini mushroom skillet, full of colorful and tasty vegetables, and far from the same old side dish. Yellow bell pepper is beautiful with the zucchini in the dish, but red or orange bell peppers will do just as nicely. The mushrooms, garlic, and Italian seasoning add lots of flavor. Chops or chicken work well with this side, and with all the vegetables, either a simple green salad or a Caesar salad will be delicious.
