CHICKEN PASTA DISH

This was a MAJOR hit with my family! 2 Thumbs up from each!

Each of these ingredients are PER PERSON, so if you have 4 people, simply multiply the ingredients by 4.

INGREDIENTS:

3oz Boneless Skinless Chicken Cooked
1 Cup Raw Mushrooms
1/2 Cup Cooked Whole Grain Pasta
1 & 1/4 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tbsp of Pine Nuts
2 Cloves Garlic Crushed & separated
2 Tsp Oregano
2 Tsp Basil
1/3 Cup Peppers (Red or Green or Mixed)
1/3 Cup of Baby Carrots Finely chopped
Mrs Dash Seasoning (Original Blend)
Spring Mix Salad with Baby Spinach

INSTRUCTIONS:

Wash chicken pieces and sprinkle with Mrs Dash Seasoning and any other seasonings you might want to have. Add 1 Clove of the crushed garlic to the pan over the chicken, sprinkling by hand. Arrange them in the bottom of a non stick pan that has a lid, like a Corelle dish.

Wash and add the mushrooms over the chicken pieces, cover and bake on 375 for about 35 minutes or until cooked.

Put oil in a measuring cup, measuring by the TBSP per person, then add all the other seasonings to the oil, stir well and set aside.

Chop peppers and carrots but, keep them separate from each other. *You CAN season the carrots with Basil if you like* Set these aside.

When the chicken is cooked, weigh out 3oz, then chop or shred it, per person.

Cook pasta per instructions and drain when finished.

Layer the bottom of the plate with the lettuce (as much as you like), add the hot cooked mushrooms, then the pasta, add the chicken, vegetables, pine nuts and stir the oil/seasoning mixture and then drizzle 1 & 1/4 Tbsp over the assembled dish.

*YOU CAN Substitute the Honey Balsamic Dressing recipe for a Tangier Taste Treat!

*YOU CAN add a Tsp of Grated Parmesan Cheese, this will increase the calorie content by about 20 Calories.
