This solo dish, when served with a green side salad will make a nice lunch for one, but it can be expanded to be used as a main course. The recipe can also be garnished with black olives and served cold. Cooking is a Creative Sport. Ingredients:
1 boneless skinless chicken breast |
1 cup dry pasta (i like the bowtie shape) |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard (grey poupon is nice) |
1 tablespoon lime juice (lemon juice will also work) |
1 clove garlic, diced |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon black pepper |
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese (grated) |
1 tablespoon honey |
Directions:
1. Cover both sides of the chicken breast with the salt and pepper and cook in a hot pan for 4 minutes per side OR bake in a 375 (f) oven for 40 minutes or until the meat has an internal temperature of 170 degrees (f).
2. Set aside to cool.
3. cook the pasta in 2 quarts of boiling salted water until done, about 8 to 10 minutes.
4. Mix the olive oil, honey, mustard, garlic, and lime juice in the bottom of a shallow pasta dish.
