Tuna and Pasta Salad with Tomato and Green Chilies and Olives

Another easy to make anytime dish good warm or cold. Like my other recipe for tuna and pasta you can substitute chicken if you’re not a fish person. There are no set rules, add items or delete what you don’t like, it’s a recipe not a blueprint for a rocket. I always keep a number of these items in the larder in case I need to make a quick dish to fill in for lunch or dinner. Any type of shaped pasta will work elbows, shells, orecchiette, small penne. The only real musts are make sure you have a good italian dressing ( for this one I like to use Wishbone).

Ingredients for Tuna and Pasta Salad

1 -2 large cans Tuna or Chicken
1 red onion diced
1 small can green chilies diced
1 cup green olives chopped
1-2 tomatoes diced or 1 can diced tomatoes drained
1 recipe of Good Seasons Italian Dressing
salt and pepper to taste
Parmesan cheese to taste (optional)
1 box shaped pasta

Directions for Tuna and Pasta salad

Boil the pasta in salted water, once done, drain.

Prepare all the rest of the ingredients and putting the pasta into a large bowl to mix, add the rest of the ingredients and combine thoroughly. If making it ahead of time make sure you have extra dressing to moisten the pasta before serving.

Here are a few items to help make this recipe:
New Professional Commercial Grade 12 QT (Quart) Heavy-Gauge Stainless Steel Stock Pot, 3-Ply Clad Base, Induction Ready, With Lid Cover NSF Certified Item
Good Seasons Salad Dressing & Recipe Kit, Cruet with 2-Count Italian Dressing Mix (Pack of 2)
(Set of 6) Mixing Bowls Standard Weight Stainless Steel *Mirror Finish* ¾, 1½, 3, 4, 5, and 8 Qt.

Oh well another of those recipes that really aren’t pup friendly. Too many onions and spicy stuff for me, I can’t even get a taste, but surprisingly it does smell quite good, so 3 paws, and let’s hope there is steak for dinner!

Chicken Parmesan (Parmigiana)

Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmigiana is truly one of the great Italian dishes, so easy to make and so delicious and truly there are no rules, and so many recipes. To start you need your favorite “gravy”, add your favorite pasta as a side and the chicken and you have a meal that will satisfy the hungriest of diners.

“No rules just right” is some company’s motto and it works well in the kitchen. Many of the recipes call for you to pound the chicken to a ¼” thickness. I like to leave it as it is. It will cook through just fine and the thicker slice seems to be a little more moist and juicy in the final product.

Ingredients for Chicken Parmesan

2 whole chicken breast butterflied into 2 halves each
1 -1 ½ cups flour seasoned
3 eggs beaten with a little water (optional add 2-3 drops Tabasco)
1 – 2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
Oil for frying
1 Qt. tomato sauce (your choice)
8 slices mozzarella cheese or enough shredded to cover chicken
1 lb pasta (your choice)

Seasoned Flour

1 cup all purpose flour
1 Tbs Garlic salt
1Tbs pepper
1 Tbs onion powder
1 tsp ground mustard

Directions for Chicken Parmesan

In three separate shallow bowls put the flour in one, the egg mixture in the second and the bread crumbs in the third.

Dredge the chicken in the flour, then wet all sides in the egg wash and turn in the breading to completely coat.

In a large frying pan, big enough to accommodate all the chicken in one layer, or cook in batches, cook the chicken in the oil until nicely browned on both sides.

Preheat oven to 375°.

In a baking pan large enough to place all the chicken in one layer spoon a little of the tomato sauce on the bottom of the pan. Place the browned chicken on top and then cover with more sauce. Bake for about 30 minutes , placing the cheese on top of the chicken for the last 5 minutes. Serve with the pasta of your choice.

Le Creuset Heritage Stoneware 12-by-9-Inch Covered Rectangular Dish, Cherry
OXO Good Grips Brushed Stainless Steel Turner

Any recipe with Chicken gets 5 paws from me, so Mangia lads and lassies

Notes

You can make your own tomato sauce from your favorite family recipe or use a good quality Jar of sauce.
For the chicken if you want, you can pound thin to 1/4 inch thickness, but it is not necessary as the halves when properly cooked will be moist and tender and done.

Chicken with Sauerkraut

Two of my favorite things, chicken and sauerkraut. I don’t know why I never put the two together before. I felt that a slightly sweet version would probably go best. The recipe to follow is for two if your making more just increase the brown sugar and sauerkraut equally. This can be made in a slow cooker, just put on high for a few hours and make sure the chicken is at least 165° before you serve.

Ingredients for Chicken with Sauerkraut

Chicken pieces, cut up with bones in
1 jar good sauerkraut
2-3 tbs brown sugar
cooking spray

Directions for Chicken with Sauerkraut

Preheat oven to 375°

In a baking dish, spray with cooking spray, and place the chicken in a single layer. Cover with the sauerkraut and sprinkle the brown sugar over the top. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for about 45 minutes, remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 15 minutes. Check to make sure chicken is up to temperature and serve.

Here are a few items to help make this recipe:
Kitchen Supply Glass Bake ‘N Take 9 Inch x 13 Inch Dish With Snap On Cover
Crock-Pot SCCPVL610-S 6-Quart Programmable Cook & Carry Oval Slow Cooker, Stainless Steel
