As promised, here is the recipe for the Chicken Mozzarella pasta dish below. It's a definite keeper and will be making the meal rotation list.
Chicken Mozzarella Pasta recipe.
Chop chicken breast up in small pieces and brown in skillet. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove chicken and toss in chopped onions and garlic. Next time I will add mushroom.
Add jarred pasta sauce and some herbs, then toss in chicken. The recipe in the cookbook Dinnertime neglects to tell you to toss the chicken at this point but the PW website does state to place it in the sauce now.
After a few minutes, stirring as the sauce heats, you will add 8 ounces of cubed mozzarella. It has to be a block of mozzarella and cubed pieces. If you use shredded it won't turn out the same. I imagine it will be good but this way you get the ooey bits of melting mozzarella chunks in the sauce.
While that was going on you can cook your pasta and plate it. Use Parmesan cheese liberally.
So far I have managed this list for 4 weeks. Let's see if I can keep going!! What has been on your meal plan for the week?
That mozzarella pasta is on my list of meals to cook up soon. It looks delicious! And since you tempted me into buying the cookbook I have the recipe! The Beef Stew also sounds tasty. I haven't made stew in awhile and so I'll have to look for it. It sounds like you've been eating very well! For all the cooking I've done for the Christmas holidays I haven't done much meal cooking. I'm trying to get back in the habit this week.
ReplyDeleteKatherine, I sure hope you live that, mozzarella chicken, it' s very easy and a winner. C'mon, aren't you glad you got this cookbooks? Iin spite of the Costco craziness ☺️
