Chicken w/ Pasta Roni – Parmesan Cheese

Dinner Tonight: Chicken w/ Pasta Roni – Parmesan Cheese




Big change in our weather. As the all day rain of yesterday came through our area, behind it was Roni – Parmesan Cheese.cooler weather. We went from a high in the mid 80's yesterday to a high of 63 degrees today. With a cool breeze blowing with it! Went to see Dad for a bit this morning, they told us he should be released sometime next week. Back home finished up some house cleaning and then got the cart out for a while. I had to put a sweat shirt on it was so cool riding it. For dinner tonight I prepared Chicken w/ Pasta






For the Chicken part of the dish I used Perdue Perfect Portions Chicken Breasts (2 of them). I had them in the freezer so I let them thaw overnight in the fridge. To prepare; removed them from the package and seasoned them with Sea Salt and Litehouse Freeze Dried Poultry Herb Blend.  Then I sprinkled them with a light dusting of Flour. Cooked them in a medium skillet that was sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray and a tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Fried them on medium high heat for about 10 minutes, flipping it over 3 times. Removed from the heat and set aside. Before serving them with the Pasta I sliced the Chicken Breasts up.




I had prepared this once before, Pasta Roni Parmesan Cheese. A product of Rice – A – Roni,  Pasta
Roni is a Angel Hair Pasta in a Parmesan Sauce with other natural flavors. It comes with the Pasta and Parm Sauce and I added; 1 1/3 cups of water, 2/3 cups of 2% milk, and 2 tablespoons of Blue Bonnet Light Butter. Then to prepare it; In a medium saucepan bring water, milk, margarine or butter to a boil. Then slowly stir in pasta and Special Seasonings. Separate pasta with a fork, if needed. Return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Boil uncovered, 4-5 min. or until pasta is just tender, stirring frequently. Sauce will be thin. Let stand 3-5 min. to thicken. There’s 2 servings per box. Nice seasoning and the Parmesan Sauce is very flavorful. I topped the Pasta with some Kraft Reduced Fat Grated Parmesan Cheese and the Chicken. This makes one delicious Chicken and Pasta Dish! A Keeper Recipe and product for sure. I also baked a loaf of Pillsbury Rustic French Bread. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.
