Chicken and Pasta

Dinner Tonight: Chicken and Pasta




Wow we went from beautiful Spring Days to hazy and humid Summer Days. Another hazy and

humid day here in Southwest Ohio. We even had the air-conditioner on all night. Beats the cold, snow, and ice though! Good Breakfast to start the day; a Poached Egg, on a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin, a side of Jennie - O Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links, and a hot cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea! I use the Egg Poacher my Mom has had since I was still crawling around on all fours! Once you see steam coming out of it just boil for 3 minutes and you have a perfect Poached Egg. Not much going on outside due to the humidity and a very high pollen count. I was outside for a bit and sneezed for next 3 hours, it's bad out! For dinner tonight another easy to prepare but delicious meal. I prepared Chicken and Pasta with a slice of Klosterman Wheat Bread.




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 Mrs. Dash Roasted Garlic Table Blends Seasoning. Then I sprinkled them with a light dusting of Flour. Cooked them in a medium skillet, sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray and a tablespoon of Canola Oil. Fried them on medium high heat for about 10 minutes, flipping it over 3 times. Removed from the heat and set aside.







For the Past Part of the Meal; I had bought a little something that caught my eye the other day while

at Kroger, a bag of Kroger Brand Chicken Pasta and Sauce. Which is a Fettuccine Pasta in a Chicken Flavor Sauce. It comes in a 4.3 sealed bag. Easy to prepare; Bring 2 cups of water and 1 tablespoon Blue Bonnet Light to a boil in a medium size sauce pan. Stir in the contents of the package. Continue boiling over medium heat, stirring often, 7 minutes or until the noodles are tender. Remove the pan from heat and let cool for 2-3 minutes; the sauce thickens as it sits. To serve; Made a bed of the Pasta in a plate, topped it with a sprinkle of Kraft Reduced fat Parmesan Cheese, and then topped it with a Chicken Breast. I'll have to buy another package of the Pasta! Really good; the sauce was great and well seasoned and I love Pasta especially Fettuccine. Made a really delicious dish. I also had a slice of Klosterman Wheat Bread topped with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. For dessert later a Healthy Choice dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.
