Recipe of the Week!

This recipe is so good and so easy. Everyone in the family will love it.

Chicken Caesar Pasta

Ingredients

4 thin sliced boneless skinless chicken breasts
3/4 cup Creamy Caesar dressing
3/4 Low sodium chicken broth
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chopped green onions
8 ounces Mozzarella Cheese (ball)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 cup Caesar croutons (crushed)
10 ounces penne pasta

To start:
In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add chicken and season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Cook through. While chicken is cooking, bring water for pasta to a boil. Once boiling, add pasta and cook according to package directions.

In a bowl, mix Caesar dressing, chicken broth, green onions, and red pepper together.. I find that using quality Mozzarella cheese makes all the difference. Get the Mozzarella in the ball, not the low moisture Mozzarella. Cut the Mozzarella into small cubes, as small as you can since it can't be shredded. put it in the freezer until you're ready to mix with everything else. Once chicken is cooked, cut it in cubes and set aside. Drain pasta once cooked.

Add cooked chicken and pasta to dressing mixture. Mix well. Stir in cheese making sure to mix in well. Pour mixture into casserole dish. Sprinkle parmesan cheese then crushed croutons on top and put in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes.

Serve with Garlic Bread. Serves 6

Enjoy!
