Quick And Easy Recipes!!!?

I have a few.





The first is to marinate chicken breast in zesty Italian dressing. With this you could just throw it on the grill, and it's good. I like to dress it up. I generally bake this for about 20 minutes, it won't be done, but it's going to go back in. Then I top with a few sliced tomatoes that I have seasoned with salt and pepper. Then with cheese. I prefer something strong like gorgozola, but I have made it with mozz cheese as well. Let this bake for another 5 minutes until the cheese is brwon and bubbly. You can serve this on a toasted bun with mayo or pesto, or both the way I like it. Or on a plate with a side of pasta that is dressed lightly with a simple tomato sauce, pesto or garlic and olive oil.





Another really good easy recipe is my fake lasagna. It's so good and a piece of cake. You can dress this up any way you like as well. The basic recipe calls for 1 box of cooked ziti with lines (make sure you undercook it for , 1 lb. of sweet bulk sausage, 1 large jar of your favorite tomato sauce (you will need about 3 cups) or about 3 cups of homemade sauce, 1 large container of ricotta cheese and 1 large bag of mozz cheese. Cook your sausage until it's all the way done. Then just mix the rest of the ingredients, except for about 1 cup of the mozz cheese and put it in a baking dish. Top with the rest of the mozz and bake at 400 for about 15 minutes covered with tin foil. Then take off the top and cook until the cheese is brown. YUM! Depending on the crowd I might add some marinated artichokes, olives, peppers, onions, etc. Just a little special bang.





Finally, another really good recipe is roasted chicken. It's a piece of cake. Just wash the inside of the chicken out and season liberally with salt and pepper inside and out. To the inside of the chicken and a head of garlic you have halved width wise, a few carrots, celery, onion and some type of citrus fruit (whatever you have on hand will work). Under the skin rub butter. I like to season mine with thyme, but it's up to you. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes less than your required to. Then let it sit for about a half hour. It will still be nice and warm, moist and delish. Serve with mashed potatoes and veggies. One key thing with mashed potatoes that makes a difference is to warm your milk or cream in the mic before you begin to mix. Also, make sure you salt your water well.Quick And Easy Recipes!!!?
