Quick and Easy Italian Chicken


by Diana Buzby


This recipe was the Grand Prize winner in our Quick and Easy Recipe Contest!








2 pounds chicken breasts


1/2 teaspoon of black pepper


1 teaspoon of salt


1/4 teaspoon of chili pepper or a few drops of Tabasco sauce


1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning


1 tablespoon of dried onions


1 can of Italian stewed tomatoes


1/4 to 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella


Olive oil














Place aluminum foil in a square baking dish. (This really helps with clean up.) Sprinkle olive oil on the foil in the pan. Spread the oil evenly so it covers the entire pan. Place chicken breast in the pan. Make about three slits in each breast and sprinkle on the black pepper, salt, chili pepper, Italian seasoning and dried onions. (You can adjust seasoning to your taste.) Drain some of the liquid from the tomatoes and pour can over the chicken.





Cover with foil and bake 350 degrees F for 25 minutes. Remove foil, add the cheese and bake another five to 10 minutes uncovered, making sure not to overcook the cheese.




















Serve with fresh vegetables and pasta.Quick easy chicken recipes?

Orange Glazed Chicken





Ingredients:


1 (3-3 1/2 pound) whole chicken

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place chicken breast side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Roast uncovered for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Combine remaining ingredients and mix well. If desired, separate the glaze and reserve some to serve with chicken after cooking.*





Brush some of the orange mixture on chicken and roast uncovered another 15 minutes. Periodically brush chicken with the orange mixture until chicken is no longer pink (180 degrees using a meat thermometer). Serve chicken with remaining orange mixture.

try this one... you will need:


chicken


red and/or green peppers


ziti pasta


spaghetti sauce


shredded mozzerella cheese








cook the pasta as normal...


cut the chicken into chunks... cook pasta in a frying pan with a little bit of butter... when cooked all the way... drain pasta and mix that with the chicken, sliced peppers, and spaghetti sauce... then top with cheese...








you could also cook the pasta on the stove then when done mix everything together in a baking dish and bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes... then top with cheese and let melt...

slow cooker stew - 4 chicken pieces, potatoes, turnip, carrots, 1/2 cup water - low heat for 8 to 10 hours
I know sometimes I need to have something quick and easy too. Try Chicken Pot Pie





Cook your chicken with cut up small pieces of carrot, celery and onion. Add some extra chicken boil lion for flavoring. Add bite size pieces of potatoes, and bow tie noodles. I usually had a little bit of flour to thicken the sauce. My family add peas to the casserole as well. They are optional.





Hope you try it and enjoy!
