Awww… Summertime what a fantastic time of the year. There’s BBQ’s happening in the garden, beautiful walks on the beach and a bounty of fresh garden produce everywhere.
Funny enough it also reminds me of Italy. It seems my peep was always scheduling a little trip to Italy during the summer, and considering Italy is a dog friendly place to be I was able to sample many of Italy’s historical culture, cities, countryside and their tasty food.
Besides my ultimate favourite steak Florentine, I would have to say I love their risotto and pasta dishes too, especially when mixed with chicken or beef.

1. Preheat oven to 180° C or (375° F), grab a large bake pan and add a glug of oil. Bake chicken for 35 minutes or until juices run clear.6. Mix chicken, rice, Parmesan cheese to rice. I also add the chicken juice from the pan as well.
