Olive Garden Tuscan Garlic Chicken

Needless to say..... This is what I will be doing with my chicken


Ingredients
4 each (4 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups flour, plus 1 tablespoon
1 Tbsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 lb fettuccine pasta, cooked according to package directions
5 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp garlic, chopped
1 red pepper, julienne cut
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 lb whole leaf spinach, stemmed
2 cups heavy cream
1 cups Parmesan cheese, grated

Pre-heat oven to 350ºF.

1. Mix 1 1/2 cups flour, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning in a
shallow dish. Dredge chicken in the mixture, shaking off any excess.

2. Heat 3 Tbsp oil in a large skillet. Cook chicken breasts 2 at
a time over medium-high heat until golden brown and crisp (2-3
min). Add more oil for each batch as necessary.

3. Place cooked chicken breasts on a baking sheet and transfer
to preheated oven. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until internal
temperature reaches 165°F.

4. Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a sauce pan. Add garlic and red pepper and
cook for approximately 1 minute. Stir in 1 Tbsp flour, wine,
spinach and cream and bring to a boil. Sauce is done when spinach
becomes wilted. Complete by stirring in parmesan cheese.

5. Coat cooked, drained pasta with sauce, then top with chicken
and remaining sauce. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese.

I love to cook!!

UPDATE
You wont believe what happened to appear in my inbox this morning!!! Someone is looking out for me!!


I really do love to cook. Trying new recipes is always fun for me! But lately, I have had NO time to cook. I am trying to make myself cook nightly meals for my famuly again, and not just pick something up on the way home. Last night, I made Taco Salad, and I have no idea what I am going to cook for supper tonight. I know it will involve some chicken breasts, but I don't know what I am going to with them... This is the part I hate about cooking is trying to figure out what to eat, and what to have with it...

When I started WW a few years ago, I cooked every meal.. Very seldom did we eat anything from anywhere but home. I was obsessed with counting points and knowing what was in everything I ate. As soon as I started going out to eat, my waistband and my wallet reflected it.

I still have no idea what I am going to have for supper tonight, so if any of you have some healthy chicken recipes, how bout send them my way. I will give you credit for your recipes and post them here so someone else can enjoy them too.
