2 boneless chicken breasts
2 cups marinara sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1 tbsp. olive oil

While water is heating, put oil in skillet for chicken. Put heat on medium. Put chicken in skillet. Season with oregano, minced garlic and basil. Cook until done, approximately 3 minutes for both sides. When done, place on serving plate.

In separate small saucepan heat marinara sauce. Cover and simmer. Divide mozzarella cheese onto each chicken breast. Place angel hair next to chicken onto each plate. Divide marinara sauce onto each plate, covering pasta and cheese on chicken. Sprinkle with parsley. Salt to taste. Serves two.

Chicken and Asparagus Stir Fry

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

12 oz. chicken breast, sliced
1 bunch of asparagus, ends cut off, cut into 1 inch pieces
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. margarine
Non stick cooking spray
Salt
Pepper
2 cups rice pilaf
Stir Fry sauce

Start preparation of rice pilaf with water, tsp. margarine, and a dash of salt, in medium sized saucepan. Add rice pilaf when water begins to bowl and cover. In non-stick sprayed saute pan on medium heat, add chicken and Worcestershire sauce. Cover and allow cooking for approximately 5-6 minutes. Stir with spatula and if needed, cook more until done. Chicken should be well cooked, without any pink color and asparagus will be tender to the touch.

If stir-fry sauce is preferred, add a good amount to chicken/asparagus mixture in pan. 1/2 cup is a good measurement to start out with. Put 1 cup of rice on 2 separate plates, and divide stir-fry mixture to both plates, on top of rice.
