RECIPES:
SKILLET CHICKEN POT PIE – In a large skillet cook chopped carrots, celery and onion in oil until soft and then add in some butter until melted, add in salt, pepper, celery seed, garlic powder, thyme and coat with flour until it forms a paste over your veggies. Gradually add some milk until smooth and then add in vegetable stock and continue to mix. Add chopped mushrooms, frozen peas and green beans and cooked chicken (you can grab all the meat from a rotisserie chicken to make it easy or cook some chicken breast to add to it). While that is sautéing roll out pastry dough and cut into squares. Top your meat and veggie mixture with pastry squares, overlapping, but single layer over the entire top of skillet and then brush with egg wash and bake for 25 minutes at 425.
MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN – In large pot, heat oil, add in chopped chicken seasoned with salt and pepper and cook until brown and set aside. Add butter to the same pot and once melted add minced garlic, for a minute, and then add chicken stock, heavy cream and fettuccine noodles, cook until sauce thickens and pasta is soft, add in parmesan cheese, fresh lemon zest, lemon juice, capers, and pitted kalamata olives, combine. Once pasta is all done mix in your cooked chicken. Season with salt and pepper and fresh cut parsley. Serve with a lemon wedge.
