Basil Cream Chicken with Noodles!

       So this week I made yummy chicken with basil cream and noodles. This is one of my favorites and  I hope you enjoy.

Things you will need:
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup bread crumbs
3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons of butter
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup of whipping cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup cup basil
1/8 teaspoon pepper
8 ounces of noodles
First, start by pounding the chicken breast into a thinner slice.

      Now, in two separate bowls place 1/4 cup dried bread crumbs and 1/4 cup of milk.

 Fully coat the chicken in your milk, I would keep Clorox wipes near by.
 Then fully coat the chicken in the breadcrumbs, your will probably need for than 1/4 cup.
            In three tablespoons of butter cook the chicken until the center is completely white. Take the chicken out of the pan and put it to the side.
 Keeping the access browned bits and pour in chicken broth. Simmer for one minute.
 Now pour in whipping cream and lower heat, boil and stir for one minute, don't burn the milk.
 Add in basil, pepper, and cheese, stir until the milk has thickened a little. about two minutes.
 While all this is happening boill your noodles in a separate pan until cooked, drain.
 Add chicken into the sauce.
Serve with the sauce over both the chicken and noodles! I hope you enjoy this one. Bon'Appetit!

Italian Salad!

      Ok, so normally I would show pictures of the steps I take when I make stuff but today since I am making a salad I thought it would just be easier to give you all the information instead of adding pictures. Normally I would make something a little more complicated, but I know its hard to find a really yummy salad so that is why I am giving you this! I hope you enjoy! By the way this is for the salad and the dressing.

What you will need:

FOR SALAD:
Romaine lettuce, bite sized
Ice burg lettuce, bite sized
1 small red onion peeled and thinly sliced (optional)
4 ounces of blue cheese crumbled (if you're not a fan of blue cheese like me, just use feta cheese)
Corn Oil, for frying
4 ounces of thinly sliced Prosciutto cut into about two inch squares (you may also use bacon)

FOR DRESSING:
1 Tablespoon of Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons of granulated sugar 
3/4 cup water
2 Tablespoons of fresh minced garlic
1/3 cup of red wine vinegar
1 Tablespoon salt
2 cups Vegetable oil
Black pepper to taste
1 pinch of dried oregano

DIRECTIONS:
            1. In a large skillet, heat 1/2 of your corn oil. Cook Prosciutto until it turns dark brown and curls at the ends. Drain on a paper towel and crumble in to small bits. Set aside. (If you are using bacon you DON'T need the corn oil.)
            2. Place your lettuce, onion, cheese and prosciutto in a large bowl; toss it up real nice.
            3. For dressing, in a medium bowl, combine mustard, sugar, water, garlic, vinegar, and salt.  Whisk together until combined. Now whisk in your oil slowly in a stream formation. Add pepper and oregano, whisk to combine.
            4. Plate your salad and drizzle a little bit of dressing over it because you don't want too much...

This recipe makes a lot of salad so I would wrap the salad in a paper towel and then put it in a bowl with a lid. Put your dressing in a separate bowl in the refrigerator. Now you have a yummy salad whenever you want it! Bon'Appetit!

Pasta Alla Carbonara!

Ok! Sooo.... as you follow my blog later on you will learn that I make A LOT of Italian Food. So this week I have prepared a pasta dish called Pasta Alla Carbonara. The first time I made this I thought it was really weird but once I tried it... my family and I fell in love with it. So! Shall we begin.

What you will need:


1 pound of linguine noodles

1 pound of bacon (if it has bacon, of course it'll be good)


1 small onion


3 eggs


8 ounces of freshly grated Romano cheese


3-4 Tablespoons of bacon grease.



Shall we begin?

     First, start by filling a big pasta pan with water and putting a sprinkle of salt into the water. Then turn the water on high and wait for it to boil, while your waiting start to do other things for the recipe.




          Take your pound of raw bacon and chop it up into about one centimeter wide strips and when your done chopping throw them into a medium pan.


 Take your small onion and chop it into slivers about a centimeter wide. If you like onions you can chop the onion small, but I don't... so I just chop it in big pieces so I can take it out when its done giving my meal flavor.
         Combine your onions with your bacon and put it on a medium high burner. Cook until the bacon is cooked to your preference. When the bacon is done, drain the bacon grease and put the grease aside for later. Put bacon in  a bowl and put, it aside as well.



                When your water starts to boil, pour in your linguine pasta and let it cook for 10-12 minutes or until the pasta is soft.



         While your pasta is cooking, prepare your eggs... what your going to want to do is... beat your three eggs in a small bowl. When your done beating, put the eggs aside along with the bacon and its grease.


                 Then measure out 8 ounces of freshly grated Romano cheese and put it to the side with the eggs, bacon, and grease. Trust me you probably are very confused but its very simple don't get scared, it will all make sense soon.



            Ok, to complete this entree you must be very quick. The second you get done with draining your pasta, pour the eggs in the the noodles (of course make sure that the noodles are in a bowl not a colander when you do this.) Mix it up real nice... I know this might sound very gross but the heat from the noodles cooks the eggs in the noodle... and don't worry you don't taste egg at all, it just makes a nice little sauce. Then add the Romano cheese, bacon, and 3 tablespoons of bacon  grease into the noodles. Stir it up real nice.... and now your little master piece is finished! I hope you enjoy! Bon'Appetit!
