We like Emerill's recipe for Chicken Marsalla. It's on the foodtv website.





We also like taking Indian butter chicken seasoning mixes (found at either your well stocked grocery, or the Indian market) and making Indian at home.





Another favorite is my friend's creation. Sundried Tomato Pesto with Penne and Chicken.


2 lg chicken breasts - sliced thin and bitesize


1 jar of Sundried Tomato Pesto


32 oz Chicken stock


1lb Penne


parm cheese





Lightly saute the chicken in a large frying pan. Add the stock, penne, and pesto, cover and cook till the pasta is done to your liking. You may need to add a little water if it's getting too dry, and your pasta isn't done yet.





Top with parm, and enjoy.





Finally, the last one, is from America's Test Kitchen


2 chicken breast - sliced thin and bitezise


1 lb Penne


1 pt heavy cream


32 oz Chicken stock


garlic


broccoli


parm and asiago cheese - (Sometimes I use the pizza blend of cheese that is pre packaged)





Saute the chicken lightly with some garlic, add the penne, stock, and more garlic. Cover and cook for about 5 or 6 minutes. Add more garlic and the broccoli, as well as the cream. Cook till broccoli and pasta are done. Add the cheese.





We like it creamy and gooey, so I add 2 cups of cheese, but the original recipe only called for 1/2 cup. So play with it till you like it.





Enjoy!
heya,





This is easy and good!!





Cut and clean your chicken breasts.


Crush some corn flakes


dish of melted butter


and whatever spices you like (I use lemon pepper and garlic sometimes)


and sometimes Nature's Seasoning and Mrs' Dash





Wet the chicken in the butter, roll in corn flakes put in a Pam sprayed glass pan.


Sprinkle the spices.


Drizzle the extra butter on top and then make sure to add more crushed corn flakes on top of that.





Bake 350 for 30ish minutes depending on thickness of breasts.





You are gonna love it, it's a big hit.





Bon Apetite
