Today was one of those days that inspiration was no where to be found. I took a long time to decide on the menu for our family dinner. However, I closely surveyed our fridge and pantry to help create a wonderful dish the whole family would love. What I came up was Caesar salad to start and as our main meal, breaded chicken breast with green beans and Alfredo rotini. The kids loved it and they finish everything on their plate. Hope your family would enjoy this meal as well.
Ingredients:
Caesar salad- I used the a package of Dole ready light Caesar salad
1 pkg frozen green beans
1/2 medium red onion or white onion thinly sliced
4 tbsp butter or margarine
1 pkg rotini pasta
1 jar of Ragu Alfredo Sauce or whatever sauce you like
1 Chicken breast thinly sliced
1 egg
1-2 cups of bread crumbs
oil
salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Salad just follow direction of package but wait until the end to put this together so lettuce doesn't get soggy.
Green beans- Add butter to a skillet and let it melt then add slices of onions salt and pepper to taste. Once onions are almost transparent add the frozen green beans and stir. You can lower the heat and add salt and pepper to taste when you see that they are almost done. This should take about 10 minutes. Make sure you don't overcook them. You want them to be cook but still crunchy.
Pasta- Put a pot of water to boil. Once you have a rolling boil add salt and then pasta. It takes about 9-11 minutes. I prefer to cook it for 9 then drain it. To the same pot then I add the Alfredo sauce and drained rotini.
Breaded Chicken. Cut chicken breast in thin slices long wise. Then dip them in the egg and later on the bread crumbs. Then add chicken to a pan with oil . Leave chicken for only a couple of minutes and then turn and leave on pan for another couple of minutes since the chicken is pretty thin and you don't want to overcook.
