Crockpot Orange Chicken
French Provencial Chicken
This recipe is inspired by David Lebovitz’ Roast Chicken with Caramelized Shallots. With just a few ingredients and little preparation, it is simple yet delicious. I chose skinless, boneless breasts to keep the dish low fat but you may use any kind of chicken you wish.
Easy Orecchiette Florentine
Tonight’s dinner was supposed to be Chicken Marsala but alas, my distracted nature had me running all over the grocery store for items needed for a science experiment and I didn’t realize until I got home that I forgot to get the mushrooms I needed. I didn’t want to head back to the store so I decided to figure something out using what I had on hand: pasta, a jar of roasted red peppers, grilled and chopped chicken in the freezer, an onion, some bacon, a jar of Alfredo sauce, and a bag of baby spinach that I had planned to use in a salad. Everyone loved it and the name was voted to be Orecchiette Florentine. Doesn’t it look yummy?
Chicken with Basil Cream Sauce
This rich and creamy chicken dish is one of the recipes first featured in our Busy Mom Menu. Served over pasta, it is delicious with a salad and bread. Start with chicken (flattened to an even thickness works best), milk, and bread crumbs in an assembly line. Other ingredients include cream, basil (fresh if you have it available), Parmesan cheese, pimientos, chicken broth, cornstarch, pepper, and thin spaghetti or angel hair pasta.
Cheddary Chicken and Broccoli
This is my favorite go-to recipe when I have no time or inspiration but I do have all of the ingredients (which are all either shelf- or freezer- stable so I try to keep them on hand at all times). In addition to making you look like you spent lots of time in the kitchen, it tastes delicious. Unfortunately, everyone loves it so much that even if I double the recipe there are only enough leftovers for my husband to take for lunch the next day! It goes well with a salad or fresh fruit on the side.
