Parma Rosa Chicken with Broccoli

Posted on February 21st, 2008, 11:10am by Jayne-eHarlequin


Here's a recipe for a quick chicken sauté that uses a handy packaged Parma Rosa or Alfredo type sauce. I can get this on the table under 20 minutes, and the kids will eat it...a HUGE bonus in my busy house!

  • 2 boned, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon oil or butter/margarine
  • Broccoli flowerettes - or some other veg you have hanging about or prefer (Asparagus is nice)
  • 2-3 cups of bowtie pasta - or some other pasta you prefer
  • 1 package Knorr* Parma Rosa or Alfredo type sauce
  • Parmesan cheese - freshly grated is nicest
  • Fresh ground pepper

Cube or slice chicken into bite-sized pieces and stir fry in a little oil/butter in a large fry/wok pan until golden brown. Add broccoli pieces to chicken for the last 2 mins or so and stir with chicken. Reduce heat and cover to steam broccoli to desired consistency. Boil water and cook pasta until al dente (approx 11 mins) and drain. At same time prepare Alfredo sauce per package directions ( I usually prepare the sauce in the microwave) At this point, you'll have chicken and broccoli in wok, sauce in a bowl and drained pasta in a colander. Throw everything into the wok, toss until covered with sauce and season with parmesan and pepper.

 

* You can find this or other prepared cream based sauces at the grocery store. The Parma Rosa is tomato based, the Alfredo also comes in a garlic style.

This serves 3 handily with at least one serving left over that will go into a thermos for a school box lunch the next day.

Cheers,

Jayne

Ooh, recipies...

I have an easy(ish) chicken dish, one of those seems like a lot more work than it really is kind. I invented the recipe one cold winter day because my kids were lamenting the lack of bbq'd food and I was feeling creative.

I cook for 8, but this is easy to reduce/increase as need be.

 

Sticky Chicken (named by my kids)

about 5lbs of chicken pieces - bone in and with skin. (It's about 10-12 pieces, legs, thighs and breasts)

1 1/2 cups of Kraft garlic bbq sauce

3/4 cup of honey

 

The night before, I divide the chicken into 2 large ziplock freezer bags, mix the honey and bbq sauce and pour into both bags of chicken. Then squeeze the bags, moving the chicken around to coat througoughly. I "toss" the chicken periodically  until I'm ready to bake. 

The next day, about 3 hours before dinner, preheat the oven to 425F, pour both bags into a large roasting pan making sure the chicken skin is facing upwards, and bake (covered) for 1/2 an hour.

Turn the oven down to 325F, baste the chicken with the pan juices and return to the oven without the pan cover. Continue to slow roast the chicken 2 more hours, doing a quick baste every 1/2 hour or so.

I usually serve it with rice and steamed veggies and there's rarely any leftovers.

Another easy recipe for chicken is to pour Wishbone Italien Salad Dressing over raw chicken (any type) and cook it slowly at a low temperature. (250° F for 3 hours)  It's tastes delish. ( At least it did when I was still eating meat!Wink)

Yes, I use italian dressing

Yes, I use italian dressing a lot for chicken. Salad dressing makes a great fool proof marinade.

I have other chicken/salad dressing recipies. One the kids call Sloppy Chicken, another Crazy Bake. (Yes, they are rather tetched)

I put Sticky Chicken up though because it's their favorite.

Quick chicken meal

I like Catalina dressing a lot for marinades.  Even out dog likes it.

One quick chicken thing we do is to bake chicken with a little spaghetti sauce from our favorite brand and variety, cheese and the avocado slices on top.  It's quick for rushed nights but feels homemade.

Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Posted on February 25th, 2008, 2:27pm by Cady

One of my favorite Chicken recipes, is to mix wine and dijon mustard (about half and half) as your wet base and combine parmesan cheese and italian bread crumbs (half and half) for your dry base, take your boneless chicken breasts and coat in the wet and then into the dry, back at 350 for approx. 25 minutes.  Excellent.  We often cut them into long tenders before cooking, which cuts the cooking time.  They are great on their own or on a piece of sourdough bread.  And since you can do all the prep prior to cooking, they are great for entertaining.

In the summer i sometimes like to marinade boneless & skinless chicken breats in Zesty Italian dressing overnight...with lots of holes poked in the chicken before marinading....and then the next day, bar-b-que them. I have the dressing sitting at the table for anyone who likes to dip in extra dressing, like me. yummy!
