Chicken Spaghetti Recipe

For some reason a lot of kids dislike spaghetti because of the red sauce that covers it. Never mind trying to add low fat protein to it, that red sauce just turns them off from eating a good healthy dinner. Enter chicken spaghetti made the old fashioned way! With a cheesy, creamy, "chicken-y" sauce mixed throughout with noodles; it's all their favorite ingredients with the added bonus of chicken. The bell pepper is a tasty addition, but can be left out without sacrificing taste. You can easily substitute the pepper with broccoli for a slightly different taste that is sure to please even the pickiest eaters

Candied Sweet Potatoes

This candied sweet potato recipe is a must have at every holiday meal. A thick, rich brown sugar and maple syrup mixture surrounds sweet potatoes in this easy to make casserole. You can serve it hot out of the oven without topping or you can top it with marshmallows if you're a fan of that version, people seem to have a love/hate relationship with the marshmallow topping on their sweet potatoes. The original recipe from our family's holiday menu doesn't include marshmallows, but it's been included for those who love it.

Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe

Since the movie bearing the same title came out in 1991, this fried green tomatoes recipe has gotten popular. This favorite southern food has been discovered by other parts of the nation. Some people use dredge in beaten eggs first, then coat in cracker crumbs, breadcrumbs or as in this case, flour. Whatever coating you choose, the tomatoes need to be fried for that crispy outside, meaty inside effect. For the full Fried Green Tomatoes experience, fry up a batch or two and call some girlfriends for a chick flick night. The movie is great, the food is greasy and incredibly tasty, and with that combination you’ll have a night you’ll remember. Who can resist girlfriends that follow the motto “great friends help you get rid of the body”?

Lemon Chicken Recipe

This delicious lemon chicken recipe uses a pour-over lemon sauce as the featured flavor. Each bite is filled with tart and tangy lemon that keeps your taste buds tingling. It avoids the higher calorie versions that call for breading and frying the chicken, and in doing so brings out the fantastic lemon taste. This is perfect over egg noodles or rice because stronger sauces need somewhat neutral side dishes to keep the flavors of the meal in balance.

Chicken Marsala

This chicken Marsala recipe is the perfect choice for an elegant meal at home. The Italian dish is made with deliciously coated chicken breasts, then covered in a Marsala wine and mushroom sauce This recipe calls for pancetta, which many chicken Marsala recipes omit. Pancetta is an Italian bacon that is cured with salt, pepper, and other spices, but not smoked. It's moister and has a mellower flavor. You can find it in any good Italian market and many supermarkets, it's definitely worth the extra effort to get. Some cooks may want to substitute the pancetta, but we caution against it. You can substitute bacon for pancetta by blanching it in boiling water first to subdue the smoky flavor. However, according to OChef, "your friends will mock you and your self-esteem will suffer". We agree. It's what helps to make this recipe incredibly magnificent. Settle for nothing less.

Chicken Alfredo Recipe

Alfredo sauce and chicken is a great combination that allows you to match or beat the gastronomic experience of your local Italian restaurant. In slightly more time than it takes to boil spaghetti you'll have a creamy, decadently rich sauce enrobing chicken as it drapes itself luxuriously over pasta. Warm some Italian bread, spread with garlic butter, grab a bottle of wine and have dinner a chef would be envious of at a fraction of restaurant prices.
