Chicken Philly with Sriracha Mayo

Prep 15 min Cook 15 minutes Makes 7+ servings

Ingredients

1 lb of boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 red onion

12 oz of mushrooms

2 Tbsp of oil

1 Tbsp of season salt

1 cup of mayonnaise

1 tsp of lemon juice

2 Tbsp of Sriracha Sauce

1 pkg of bakery buns

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces.  Marinate for 5 minutes in oil and season salt.

Meanwhile, slice the onion and mushrooms and cook over medium high heat in a large skillet until tender.  Set aside

Add chicken to the skillet and cook thoroughly.  Small, bite-sized pieces of chicken should take about 5-6 minutes over medium-high heat.

In a small bowl, combine mayo, lemon juice and Sriracha Sauce.   Spread generously over the inside of the bakery buns.  Top the buns with the onion, mushroom and chicken mixture on one side and the cheese on the other side.  Place on a cookie sheet in the middle of oven and bake for 5 minutes or until the cheese starts to bubble.

Assemble sandwiches and serve with an extra side of Sriracha Sauce.

Chicken and Broccoli Rabe Pasta

Chicken and Broccoli Rabe Pasta

If you made my lemon chicken recipe, then you already have a head start on tonight’s dinner.  It’s a light and flavorful pasta.  Broccoli rabe has a strong taste, so be sure to boil it first to reduce the bitterness.

Prep 20 min Cook 15 min Makes 7+ servings

Ingredients

2 bunches of broccoli rabe (rappini)

2 cups of shredded chicken

1 Tbsp of olive oil

Salt and pepper

1 lemon

1 tsp of lemon zest

1 cup of chicken broth

2 cups of parmesan cheese

1 tsp of crushed red pepper

1 16 oz box of fettuccine pasta

Begin by cutting of the stems of the broccoli rabe so primarily only the leaves are left.  Boil in a large pot of water for 30 minutes.  (Boiling the rabe will reduce the bitterness of this green.)  Strain and set aside.

Begin a pot of boiling water to cook the pasta.  Cook pasta.

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat the chicken with olive oil.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Add the juice of one lemon and lemon zest.  Add chicken broth and cook for 5 minutes.  Add red pepper and parmesan cheese.  Stir.  The mixture may be slightly thick, so add one cup of pasta water to loosen it up.

Add pasta to the saucepan and toss.  Serve with a topping of parmesan cheese.
