Italian Style Chicken Breast and Herb Fettuccine w/ Crab meat, Shrimp, and Corn Fritter

Dinner Tonight: Italian Style Chicken Breast and Herb Fettuccine w/ Crab meat, Shrimp, and Corn Fritter Appetizer




As I posted earlier we actually have some Spring Flowers popping up, seriously check my earlier post and

picture! They say it's our last nice day until Wednesday but hopefully Spring is getting a foothold! For dinner tonight something I haven't tried; Italian Style Chicken Breast and Herb Fettuccine w/ Crab meat, Shrimp, and Corn Fritter Appetizer.





I was just going to have the Chicken and Fettuccine but I came across these Fritters last night and they sounded good so I added them to the dinner as an appetizer. For the Chicken i used Perdue Marinated Italian Style Chicken Breasts. First time I tried them and they turned out very good! You can grill them, fry them, or bake them. They come individually wrapped, about 5 per package. It's only 140 calories and 2 carbs per Chicken Breast. I baked mine at 350 degrees for about 22 minutes. They came tender and moist with very good Italian Seasoning. These will be good to freeze for anytime.



For the Fettuccine I used  al Dente Egg Noodle Fettuccine. Very easy to prepare; boil your water and add the pasta. Heat for 3 minutes and it’s ready and it’s 190 calories, 31 carbs, and 1 gram of fat. After boiling I seasoned it with Sea Salt and McCormick Grinder Italian Seasoning. To serve I made a bed of the Fettuccine and topped it with a sliced Italian Style Chicken Breast.



Now for the Crab meat, Shrimp, and Corn Fritter Appetizer. i needed 1 cup (1/2 package) ZATARAIN'S® Crispy Southern Hush Puppy Mix, 1 small onion, finely chopped, 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped, 2 tablespoons chopped chives, 1/2 teaspoon ZATARAIN'S® Creole Seasoning, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 pound claw crab meat, 1/4 pound cooked peeled small shrimp, coarsely chopped, 1/2 cup thawed frozen corn, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for frying. Just mix all your ingredients together and fry! I left the full recipe at the end of the post. I really like how these turned out. Everything came together and made one delicious Fritter!  The Corn I think really made it right. I served it with a side of Kraft Chipotle Deli Mayo, nice smooth heat. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Double Chocolate Pudding.
