Pour on a cup of red wine, then add good chicken stock and bring to the boil. Simmer 20mins, then add a good handful freshly grated parmesan, season with salt / pepper / Italian herbs. Add asparagus now if using. Yum!

It felt really good to hear the oohs and ahhs of my kids! I feel fish tacos in our near future.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17896153113724128797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31830055.post-41627153387760881652012-05-13T12:23:45.929-04:002012-05-13T12:23:45.929-04:00YUM!!!

Place each chicken breast in a peice of tinfoil and roll up and seal (mine look like candy with tassles on the end lol).<br />Place in the oven @ 350 for approx one half hour depending on the size of the chicken breast.<br /><br />Remove from oven, let stand still wrapped for a few minutes. Open and serve. I personally like some kind of rice with it but that is just my prefered way.<br /><br />Hope you like it.Shannon F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03202386577806614280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31830055.post-38173429950580562142012-05-12T13:11:01.662-04:002012-05-12T13:11:01.662-04:00I want to try Lisa's soup too.

Here are a few quick ideas: Crock Pot Chicken noodle soup (chicken cooks with veggies and then when you remove the bones, add egg noodles for 20 min...recipes online). It's hearty and definitely dinner. Also, use leftover chicken to make a pot pie. Use ready made crusts for ease (although, we sometimes do a homemade crust). Add veggies and a can of creamed soup for the filling. Tonight we're having a turkey (I buy extras when they're on sale at Thanksgiving and then freeze them!). That meal is usually followed by a pot pie.Lisa Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12849436756505158766noreply@blogger.com
