Baked Chicken Spaghetti

This dish sorta turned into an experiment.  I started with a plan in mind. And it kept changing as I found new things in the fridge to add to the dish!

I needed to use the eggplant and cubanelle peppers I picked from the garden this week.  And I had 2 green tomatoes in the fridge (more on the green tomato situation in the next garden update!).  Why not throw those in too?

So this is what we got!
