Crispy Cheddar Bacon Chicken w/ Cheesy Rotini Pasta

Dinner Tonight: Crispy Cheddar Bacon Chicken w/ Cheesy Rotini Pasta





 For Breakfast this morning I prepared a Jimmy Dean Simple Scramble Cup - Crumbled Turkey
Sausage, Egg Whites, and Cheddar Cheese. I really love these. So easy to prepare and very good! Plus they are only 150 calories and 3 carbs per serving, which is excellent. The rains have finally let up, but still a lot of flooding and more heavy rain on the Saturday. After Lunch got the push broom and leaf blower out, a lot leaves and limbs around the deck and driveway. Later on I had to go to the bank and got gas. Our gas here in Ohio will be going up, They are putting a Road Tax of 18 cents on gas. They say it's going to road repair. Anyway for dinner tonight I prepared Crispy Cheddar Bacon Chicken w/ Cheesy Rotini Pasta.



I haven't had this in a while and it sounded good! To make the dish I’ll need; 1 Box Betty Crocker
Crispy Cheddar Bacon Chicken – Chicken Helper and 2 Perdue Perfect Portions Chicken Breasts.











I love the Betty Crocker Crispy Cheddar Bacon Chicken – Chicken Helper. I’ve tried a few of them
now but this is my favorite by far. This really turns out delicious and an easy meal to prepare! 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. To prepare it first go ahead and make the Pasta, by the box directions. Just boil, stir, and season.





As the Pasta was cooking I prepared the Chicken, I used Perdue Perfect Portions Chicken Breasts. I
cut each Breast into 3 pieces. Coated each piece with the provided Seasoned Crumbs and fried until done. The full instructions are at the end of the post. The Chicken Helper box contains Rotini Pasta with Naturally Flavored Cheesy Sauce Mix and Seasoned Crumb Coating with Natural Bacon Flavor. I added the Chicken, Water, 2% Milk, Extra Light Olive Oil, Sea Salt and Pepper. I cut each chicken breast into 3 to 5 slices. Coated the Chicken in the Milk and Seasonings. Then fried the Chicken until Golden Brown and done. Delicious!

I also baked a loaf of La Bagquetterie Garlic Oval Bread. I buy this Bread at Meijer Bakery. Good replacement for the RiverRoad bakery Bread that we no longer can find. It bakes up in 8 minutes and has nice pieces of Garlic through out the loaf. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Diet Sprite to drink. Finally found the Diet Sprite at Jungle Jim's International Market.
