Leftovers - Crispy Cheddar Bacon Chicken w/ Cheesy Rotini Pasta

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





For Breakfast on this Sunday morning I made some Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, Heated up some Meijer Diced Ham, fried an Egg Sunnyside Up, made a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. I

made a bed of the Hashbrowns in a bow and sprinkled some Sargento Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese. Next I put the Diced Ham over top the Hash Browns then put the Sunnyside Up Egg on to top it off. I love this Breakfast trio more and more! No McDonald's for Mom and Dad today, I made Breakfast for them. I prepared a couple of Poached Eggs, fried some Bob Evan's Breakfast sausage Links, made some Hash Browns, and baked some Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits. Now this beats their usual McDonald's Breakfast anytime!




Mom went on to Church and stayed home and watched Dad. He's to the point now where he can not be left alone so it's up to us to take care of him. After Mom left I did a couple of loads of laundry.

Then it was on to house cleaning, dusted and vacuumed. We have wooden flooring in the Dining Room and Hallway. So I used a dust mop on it and then a light wood floor wax. Done with cleaning inside I cleaned up outside after Lunch. Got the leaf blower out and cleaned the wooden deck and driveway areas. The leaves are all turning and falling. It's 78 degrees and cloudy out. It looks like our last warm day, cooler weather moving in with rain tomorrow. Anyway everything all done and just relaxed for the rest of the afternoon. For dinner tonight t was leftovers, reheated the I Crispy Cheddar Bacon Chicken w/ Cheesy Rotini Pasta. As always when I make this dish, it's leftovers the next day. This so good there's no way I'll let the leftovers go to waste! Below I've left the original post from yesterday, for description and instructions on how to prepare it. See you tomorrow!



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.





It all comes together for one easily made and delicious dinner. I also baked a loaf of La Brea Multi Grain Bread. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop - Pop Corn and Diet Peach Snapple to drink.
