		<description><![CDATA[This recipe makes a healthy pasta dish, as it has a lot of vegetables, lean chicken and no cheese.  The flavor of this pasta though is certainly not like a typical &#8220;healthy&#8221; recipe &#8211; the flavor is full, complex and very satisfying.  In fact, it&#8217;s better than most restaurant pastas that I&#8217;ve tried! Onions, shiitake mushrooms, shredded chicken breast, garlic and tomato sauce dress the pasta and turn it into an outstanding one-dish meal.  Try this pasta recipe for dinner, and you&#8217;ll want to make it again and again. Pasta Recipe With Shredded Chicken Breast, Shiitake Mushrooms and Zucchini Cooking time: 30 minutes Number of servings: 6 Ingredients: 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast 8 oz shiitake mushrooms 5 small zucchinis 1 onion 4 garlic cloves 1 jar (32 oz) pasta sauce 1 1/2 tbsp oil 1 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper Directions: Heat 1/2 tbsp of oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.  Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5 minutes.  Flip them over and cook for another 5 minutes, or until cooked through (no longer pink in center when cut).  Remove the chicken from the frying pan.  Let cool for 5 minutes, then shred [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When people think of using leftover roast chicken, the first thing that usually comes to mind is a chicken salad.  But here&#8217;s another excellent way to turn leftover roast chicken into a yummy lunch the next day &#8211; make a shredded BBQ barbecue chicken sandwich. The shredded BBQ chicken sandwich recipe is very easy.  You only need 3 ingredients of the shredded barbecue chicken sandwich recipe: Cooked chicken meat Barbecue BBQ sauce Bun Shredded BBQ Barbecue Chicken Sandwich Recipe Preparation time: 10 minute(s) Step 1 of Making Shredded Barbecue Chicken sandwich: Shred the chicken You can shred the chicken with a knife or with a food processor fitted with a slicing disk.  I don&#8217;t like doing extra work, so I always use the food processor. If you use the food processor to shred the chicken, make sure you use the top round slicing disk.  Don&#8217;t use the usual blade that goes inside the food processor &#8211; it will turn the chicken into crumbs instead of shreds!  Load the slicing disk in the food processor, put the chicken in the top feeding tube and turn on the food processor. Here&#8217;s the secret that will make the slicing blade produce shreds instead [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Making baked BBQ chicken legs at home is very easy.  To make baked barbecue chicken legs, you need 2 things: chicken legs and BBQ sauce.  If you have a package of chicken legs in your freezer and a bottle of barbecue sauce in your pantry, you&#8217;ve got dinner! What kind of barbecue sauce should you use to make this chicken legs recipe?  You can use store-bought barbecue sauce or homemade barbecue sauce.  Homemade BBQ sauce taste much better than store-bought.  If you go with the store-bought BBQ sauce, I recommend the Sweet Baby Ray&#8217;s barbecue sauce brand.  If you want super-duper-yummy homemade BBQ sauce, check out my homemade BBQ sauce recipe and make a double-batch! Ingredients For Baked Barbecue Chicken Legs Recipe: Chicken legs, thawed BBQ sauce (homemade or store-bought) Salt and pepper Directions How To Make Baked BBQ Chicken Legs: Preheat oven to 400F. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Sprinkle chicken legs with salt and pepper (approximately 1 tbsp of salt and 1/4 tsp of pepper for every 8 chicken legs). Slather the BBQ sauce all over the chicken legs.  Put in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until done (juices run clear [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Making chicken salad is super-easy when you use a food processor.  Here&#8217;s a step-by-step guide on how to make chicken salad with a food processor. Step 1: Prepare the chicken meat You need 1 cooked chicken breast.  You can use leftover chicken, or cook a chicken breast just for the chicken salad. Step 2: Prepare boiled eggs You need 2 hard-boiled eggs.  You can boil them in advance, or right before making chicken salad.  Peel the boiled eggs. Step 3: Put the slicer blade in the food processor You need to use the slicer blade that goes on top of the food processor.  Don&#8217;t use the regular steel blade that&#8217;s inside the bowl &#8211; it will turn the chicken into a paste instead of shredded pieces.  Here&#8217;s the picture of the slicer blade in the food processor: Step 4: Put chicken in the top compartment of the food processor The chicken goes in the top feeding chute of the food processor. Step 5: Turn On The Food Processor To Slice The Chicken Turn on the food processor.  The blade will spin and the chicken will get sliced into small pieces and fall into the main bowl.  Don&#8217;t press on the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This easy chicken salad recipe is one of my go-to recipes whenever I don&#8217;t know what to make for lunch.  This chicken salad needs just 3 ingredients &#8211; chicken, eggs and mayo.  These ingredients for the easy chicken salad are almost always available in my refrigerator! For the chicken you can use leftover cooked chicken, packaged chicken strips or frozen boneless chicken breasts or thighs.  If using frozen chicken, just defrost it in a microwave and cook in a frying pan for 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. I like to use this easy chicken salad as a filling for a chicken salad sandwich.  Just spread a thick layer of the chicken salad on a piece of bread and top with another piece of bread.  This chicken salad sandwich is a really filling lunch! Ingredients For The Easy Chicken Salad Recipe: 1  chicken breast, cooked 1 egg, hard-boiled 2 tbsp mayo Salt and pepper to taste Directions How To Make Easy Chicken Salad: With a food processor fitted with a slicer blade that goes on top, slice the chicken and eggs.  It&#8217;s very important to use the top slicer blade and NOT the usual blade that&#8217;s inside [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This pasta recipe rivals any restaurant pastas.  It also reheats well, and makes a great party dish or a potluck dish.  This pasta recipe makes a pretty big portion &#8211; it serves 6-8 people.  If you want to make less, just use half of the ingredients. Pasta Recipe Ingredients: 1 lb pasta 1 lb skinless boneless chicken breast 1 lb mushrooms 6 zucchinis 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 6 garlic cloves, minced 1 package fresh basil leaves 2 cans (15 oz each) crushed tomatoes 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Directions How To Make This Pasta Recipe: Make the tomato sauce: In a saucepan, put the extra-virgin olive oil and minced garlic.  Heat over medium heat until garlic starts to sizzle.  Add crushed tomatoes and stir.  Chop the basil and add to the tomatoes, and stir.  When it boils, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Cook The Vegetables: Peel and chop the zucchinis and chop the mushrooms.  Heat 2 large non-stick frying pans over medium-high heat.  Add mushrooms to one frying pan and zucchinis to the other.  Cook, stirring periodically, for 10 minutes.  When finished cooking, add salt and pepper to taste, then put zucchinis and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Grapes are quite an unusual ingredient in a savory dish, but are perfect in a chicken salad.  When you bite into this chicken salad, grapes produce bursts of juicy flavor that enhances the taste of the chicken. Chicken salad is a great way to use leftover chicken.  If you don&#8217;t have leftover chicken, you can buy cooked chicken breasts at the deli.  And of course, you can cook the chicken breast yourself just for this salad :) Ingredients For The Chicken Salad With Grapes: 1 chicken breast, cooked 1 boiled egg, peeled 2 tbsp mayo A handful of grapes Directions How To Make Chicken Salad With Grapes: Chop the chicken into small pieces.  Mash the egg with a fork. Cut each grape in half. In a bowl, mix all ingredients.  You are done! You can eat this chicken salad as a salad or side dish, or between 2 slices of bread as a chicken salad sandwich.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This jambalaya recipe is very easy, and you can get all the ingredients in advance.  I like to save this recipe for the end of the week, when it&#8217;s almost time to go grocery shopping.  The only item that&#8217;s not always on hand is the sausage &#8211; the rest of the stuff is from the pantry and freezer.  Jambalaya is a one-dish meal, so the whole dinner is ready at once! Ingredients for Sausage Jambalaya Recipe: 1 lb sausage (here I used chicken sausage cocktail links), cup into pieces 2 cups of rice (dry) 1 small package frozen corn 1 small package frozen peas 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 onion, chopped 1 jar (14 oz) tomato puree 1 tbsp Cajun or Creole seasoning 1 tbsp oil Directions How To Make Sausage Jambalaya Cook the rice according to package directions.  My favorite method of cooking rice is to use the rice cooker.  I just put the rice and water in the rice cooker in the morning, and the cooked rice is waiting for me later in the day.  See how to cook rice in a rice cooker. Defrost frozen corn and peas in the microwave. Heat the oil in a large [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The authentic fajitas are always wrapped in flour tortillas.  Not this version :) This is a spontaneous change from the traditional chicken fajitas recipe &#8211; instead of using a flour tortilla I put the fajita filling in a whole-wheat pita pocket. Ingredients: Chicken breasts, 1 lb 2 bell peppers Salsa, store-bought 1 large avocado Cumin, 1 tsp Chili Powder, 2 tsp 1 tbsp oil 4 whole-wheat pita pockets Directions For Chicken Fajitas In A Pita Pocket: Slice the chicken breasts.  Halve the peppers, scoop out the seeds and discard the seeds.  Slice the bell peppers. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat.  Add chicken and bell peppers, sprinkle with cumin and chili powder and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (no longer pink in center when the thickest pieces are cut).  Remove from the frying pan. Mash the avocado in a bowl with a fork.  Add salt and pepper to taste. Open the pita pocket and fill it with the chicken and peppers, salsa and mashed avocado.  Enjoy!]]></description>
