Easy Chicken Pasta Salad

Leave a comment

This Easy Chicken Pasta Salad  is made with Chicken, Baby tomatoes & Romaine Lettuce and can be enjoyed warm or cold  for dinner or lunch. 

With only 3 main ingredients it’s easy to make and super healthy.

Keep in mind that if your wanting to enjoy this salad at a later time, it’s best to add the romaine lettuce when your ready to eat it. Otherwise it will wilt if left in the fridge for some time.

Also feel free to add a few cheese cubes to this salad, white cheddar would work really well here. 

Tossed in a low calorie vinaigrette, you are sure make this Chicken, Tomato & Romaine Balsamic Pasta Salad time and time again.

Or if you have a favorite low calorie dressing go ahead and use that in replace of mine. But first off try mine, you may be surprised at how simple at tasty it is.

What can be easier than this salad? You will start by cooking the penne pasta till al dente then during that time you can season and cook the chicken breasts.

Shredding the chicken then throwing all together. This Salad goes well as a side dish or served as the main course.

Creamy Parmesan Chicken and Scallop Pasta

Leave a comment

This Creamy Parmesan Chicken and Scallop Pasta is served in a creamy white sauce and is super simple to make and is sure to impress.  

I like to use penne pasta for this dish, however you could use fettuccine too. 

Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and enjoy!

You don’t have to wait for only a special occasion for this dish, if you have a seafood lover in your life they are sure to enjoy this anytime of the year. 

You will want to start by chopping your onion and then mincing your garlic, saute it in a pan and then placing on the side.

Next saute the chicken pieces, and scallops separately in a little butter then set aside.

Before placing everything back in the saucepan to merge together with some heavy cream, chopped yellow pepper, parsley, salt and pepper and fresh parmesan cheese.

Right before serving squeeze some lemon over top and serve hot directly from the pan.

Once you try this simple recipe, you will be hooked, just be careful to not overcook the scallops or it they will become rubbery. 

You are going to want to cook it on medium low for a 3 minutes on each side, then remove it immediately from the heat and set aside before tossing back for the last minute with everything else before serving!

 Serve in a bowl or on a large plate, this dish is creamy!

Note: You can also add spinach if you desire.
