Recipe Numero UNO

ok so today for lunch I made “Italian-Style Chicken Over Pasta.”

It’s a Publix recipe.

Prep and Cook: 20 min. (makes 4 servings)

ingredients:

• 8 oz publix wide egg noodles
• 1 ¼ lb Publix boneless chicken cutlets
• 2 tbsp Publix Lemon Herb Finishing Butter
• 1 (14.5 oz) can Publix Italian Style Diced tomatoes
• 4 oz Publix shredded mozzarella cheese

Sometimes you’ve got to improvise, so here are the items I used.

My ingredients:

• rotini noodles
• boneless chicken breasts (frozen) from Target. Their brand is my favorite. You usually have to trim off a little fat, but it’s not as much as you have to cut off for Great Value Brand.
• I made my own butter sauce using, lemon juice, lemon zest, italian seasoning, and melted butter.
• a can of unsalted diced tomatoes
• mozz cheese

This recipe was so easy.

First, for the pasta, I followed the directions on the pasta box. I made enough for both of us to eat. Then, I heated a sauté pan on medium heat for 2-3 minutes. I always forget to take the chicken out of the freezer until I’m ready to cook it! of course! So I took two chicken breasts and popped them in the microwave. The centers were still a little frozen, but I could still cut through them. I cut the chicken breasts into strips. The recipe said 2 inch strips.

I melted the two tablespoons of butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and italian seasoning for about 1 minute and added it to the sauté pan; tossed in the chicken. Cooked for about 3-4 minutes.

I drained the tomatoes and put them in the pan with the chicken to cook for another 2-3 minutes. Reduced the heat to medium-low and covered for about 4 minutes or so.

Then take some mozz cheese and sprinkled it over the chicken. Let it melt.

Drain your pasta. (I added some salt an italian seasoning.)

and then, serve!

Only took me about 20 minutes to make. and it was a super easy cleanup too!

Enjoy!
