What's for dinner?

Well, tonight it is a chicken, veggies pasta dish.  Call it "Chicken a la Tony".

What I did was get together:

• One box (or package) of colored Pasta swirls
  
• 1/2 cup of rice
  
• 1/4 cup of chicken broth (no msg)
  
• 16 ounces of chopped cooked chicken cut into pieces of less than 1 inch square (I cheated with two packages of 8 ounce chicken breast strips which I cut as needed)
  
• 1 medium yellow squash sliced and cut into 4 square pieces per slice
  
• 1 medium zuchini sliced and cut into 4 square pieces per slice
  
• 1 cup of brocolli florets
  
• 1 small bottle of Zesty Italian dressing (use about 2/3 of the bottle or so)
  
• 1/8 cup of minced organic garlic (you can chop up your own, but again I cheated and got minced organic garlic)
  
• Sea salt
  
• 1/4 Shredded sharp cheddar cheese (goat's milk cheese would be a good substitute)
  
• Grated parmesan cheese
  

First step is to heat the oven to 350-400 degrees and get a pot of boiling water going.  Add sea salt for taste and a tablespoon of virgin olive oil to help prevent sticking (though you still will need to stir from time to time).

While the oven is heating up boil the rice and pasta until it begins to get soft, then drain in a collander.

Mix all of the ingredients except the cheeses in a large mixing bowl and then transfer to a large bakeware pan (I use a large Corningware glass pan).

Spread the cheddar cheese over the top and then finish off by sprinkling with the Parmesan.

Cover the pan and place in the oven for 45 minutes and Viola!  You can also make a less juicy version by adding more chicken broth and letting the rice and pasta cook and swell as the dish bakes, and you can play around with other vegetables and perhaps adjust the amounts of chicken broth upward and Italian dressing downward - but I promise you it is gonna be . . .

Yumm!

Did I mention I am an awesome cook?  Wait until I tell you about my baked salmon with peanut and cherry glaze, steamed asparagus with lemon juice and butter and long grain & wild rice dinner or my melt in your mouth pot roast or my veggie and egg breakfasts or . . .

All the best,

Tony
