~Chicken, Apple and Cheddar Sandwiches with Honey Mustard~
Sliced rotisserie chicken makes a delicious and very packable sandwich for picnics. I like to layer the ingredients on a long baguette, wrap it up in plastic or foil, and slice it when I get to the beach or park.
~~~ Chicken Caesar Salad Sandwiches ~~~
Place romaine lettuce and sliced chicken on crusty bread and moisten with a dressing of oil, lemon juice, anchovies and garlic.
~~~ Chicken Salad with Raisins, Olives and Pine Nuts ~~~
I always have raisins, olives and pine nuts in my pantry, making this a particularly easy combination. I shred some chicken, combine it with the pantry items, toss in some chopped parsley and moisten the salad with lemon juice and olive oil. Serve over lettuce or with grilled bread on the side.
~~~~~ Martha's Chicken Spaghetti ~~~~~
A great dinner dish! Very easy. Use different colored bell peppers for a colorful dish!
Serving: 8 / Prep: 10 mins / Cook: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
4 boneless skinless whole chicken breasts, cut in strips
2 green bell peppers, cut in strips
10 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 8-oz bottle low-fat Italian salad dressing
cooked spaghetti
1. Stir fry chicken and peppers until chicken is done and peppers are still slightly crunchy.
2. Add salad dressing and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes during the last 5 minutes, just to heat them. Serve over hot spaghetti.
TIP: This is great using any type of bell pepper
~~~~~ Quick and Easy Oven Fries ~~~~~
This is a handy recipe anyone in the family can make. Experiment with different spices like cayenne pepper or curry powder to bring a new flavor to the table.
Serving: 2 / Prep: 5 mins / Cook: 25 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
2 white fleshed potatoes, medium to large sized
vegetable oil cooking spray
salt to taste
spices (see Note)
1. Scrub the potatoes well, pat dry. Using a paring knife, remove any bruised areas. Cut the potatoes into ¼ inch thick slices crosswise. Cut again. Fries should be no bigger than your index finger.
2. Spray a cookie or baking sheet with the non-stick spray. (a sheet with sides helps keep the fries on the sheet) Lay the potato fries in one layer, leaving some space between fries.
3. Bake for 15 minutes before removing them from the oven and turning them. Bake for another 10 minutes or until they turn a golden brown. Sprinkle with salt or spices.
Notes: Some spices to try are pre-packaged curry powders, creole seasonings, or even Italian spice blends.
