A Garlic Chicken Dinner

I just love chicken! This is a very easy recipe for a quick and healthy dinner. It only takes about 30 minutes to make!

Ingredients

Chicken Breast
Olive oil
8 garlic cloves
Italian Seasoning
Parmesan Cheese (If Desired)
1 package of rice pasta (My favorite brand is Tinkyada, it doesn’t get all mushy)
5 Vine Ripe Tomatoes
Handful of Fresh Basil Leaves
Sea Salt



Preparation of Chicken

Place Chicken on non-stick baking sheet.
Rub olive oil on both sides of the chicken
Sprinkle 3 cloves of chopped garlic on top of chicken
sprinkle italian seasoning on top of chicken
Bake at 350 for 20 mins
Flip chicken, sprinkle italian seasoning on chicken
Continiue baking for a couple mins
Flip chicken, sprinkle parm cheese on top- bake until cheese is melted


Preparation of Pasta


Prepare pasta as indicated on the instructions on package. Once Pasta is done, add in your favorite veggies for extra flavor such as: zucchini, squash, bell peppers, etc...


Preparation of Tomato Sauce


Puree tomato, basil, 5 cloves of garlic, 3 tbsp of olive oil, and sea salt to taste. There is no need to heat this sauce up, believe me it tastes much better raw! This sauce is also absolutely fabulous being used as a salad dressing!

The Final Product!


Place the pasta on a pretty plate, top with one chicken chicken breast, and pour sauce in the amount of your liking over the top. Add a beautiful house salad, use the tomato sauce as dressing too!! And you have a healthy meal the whole family can enjoy, with plenty of leftovers!!!


Enjoy!
