Winter has returned to West Chester, Ohio! The temps are back below freezing and it's snowed about 2" with more on the way. I received an email from an advertising firm that wants to use one of my posts for Ore Ida, sort of proud about that. I hear, here where I live, that they were going to announce the upcoming building of some major restaurants. it will be interesting to hear what's coming. For dinner tonight Crispy Cheddar Bacon Chicken w/ Cheesy Rotini Pasta.
This is the second time I believe that I've prepared the new Hamburger Helpers - Betty Crocker Crispy Cheddar Bacon Chicken – Chicken Helper. I’ve tried a few of them now but this is my favorite so far. This really turns out delicious! The Rotini and Cheese Sauce is excellent and the Seasoned Crumb Coating with Natural Bacon Flavor for the Chicken is one of the better Crumb Coatings I’ve had for Chicken. As all the other ones this one is very easy to make, just follow the instructions on the box. To prepare it fist go ahead and make the Pasta, by direction. Then prepare your Chicken and you have one fine meal! The Chicken Helper box contains Rotini Pasta with Naturally Flavored Cheesy Sauce Mix & Seasoned Crumb Coating with Natural Bacon Flavor. I added the Chicken, Water, 2% Milk, Canola Oil, Sea Salt and Pepper. It all comes together for one easily made and delicious dinner. I also had a couple of slices of Klosterman Wheat Bread and a Snapple Diet Peach Drink. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl frozen Yogurt.
