Mushroom Chicken

categories: Main Dishes, Recipes

Today I am featuring a mushroom chicken recipe smothered in the most creamy sauce made from scratch. It’s delicious enough to make for special occasions, but easy enough to serve on a weeknight. Last week my family had it for dinner over rice with a side of green beans. They loved it! The meal was so wonderfully cheesy, and the chicken had the perfect thickness giving us the best bite every time. If you are looking for a new chicken recipe, you need to try brandviagra this one tonight.

First cut each breast in half lengthwise.

Flatten each chicken breast half with the flat side of a meat mallet between two pieces of wax paper.

Then coat each chicken piece with flour.

In a skillet melt one tablespoon of butter and add four of the chicken pieces. Cook for two minutes on each side then transfer to a 3 quart rectangular baking dish. Then repeat with the 4 remaining pieces and one tablespoon of butter.

Now add the last tablespoon of butter to the empty skillet and add one 8 oz. can of sliced mushrooms that you have drained. Cook for a few minutes and then stir in 1 cup of chicken broth, 1/2 tsp. of salt, and 1/4 tsp. of pepper. Then bring to a boil slowly so the sauce will reduce down. Then add 1 tablespoon of flour to the sauce to slightly thicken it.

Pour the sauce over the chicken in the baking dish. Then top with 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/3 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.

Bake uncovered in a 375 degree oven for 20 minutes or until the chicken temps at 165 degrees on a meat thermometer.

Serve with rice and enjoy!

Green Pepper and Beef Manicotti

categories: Main Dishes, Recipes

 This manicotti is perfect for feeding a crowd or packing leftovers for work the next day. It is an easy manicotti recipe that swaps out ricotta cheese with cottage cheese and then includes everything yummy like green peppers, ground beef, and mozzarella cheese which is baked in a layer of marinara sauce.  How could you go wrong with this flavorful combination?  My daughter was delighted by the fact that this recipe uses manicotti noodles, because it was a nice change from the usual lasagna or spaghetti noodle we have here many nights.  So try this recipe tonight and surprise your family with a new flavor combination. They won’t be disappointed.

Start by preheating the oven at 350 degrees. Then cook your manicotti pasta according to package directions, drain, and set aside to cool. Then brown the 1 pound ground beef with the chopped green pepper, and chopped onion in a skillet.  After browning the ingredients, drain off the fat and set the meat aside to cool.

 Combine 1 1/2 cups of cottage cheese, 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, 2 egg whites, and a 1/2 teaspoon of ground oregano.  Then mix together well.
Now add in the beef mixture.

Use this mixture to stuff the manicotti. Then add enough spaghetti sauce to cover the bottom of the 9×13 dish and top the sauce with the stuffed noodles in rows. 

Cover with remaining spaghetti sauce, and top it with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.

Bake in the oven for 45 minutes.

Now serve and enjoy!
