Grill the chicken thighs on your barbecue, over glowing coals. Turn the chicken thighs once, cook for 12 to 15 minutes on each side, or until the chicken thighs are cooked through.

While the chicken thighs are cooking, do the following step: In a heavy skillet over moderate heat, cook the sliced onion in the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly golden brown.
Add the remaining 3 cloves of garlic, minced, and the coarse chopped garden tomatoes, and cook this mixture over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
Add the garden zucchini squash, chicken broth, jalapeño peppers, garden red bell pepper, sweet corn, the herb oregano, salt and pepper to taste.
Then simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes, or until the zucchini squash and bell pepper are tender.

In a large flameproof shallow casserole dish, combine the zucchini mixture and the chicken thighs, sprinkle fresh grated Monterey Jack over the top.
Broil the mixture under a preheated broiler about 6 inches from the heat for 1 minute, or until the cheese is nicely bubbling.
