Lemon Cream Chicken

This is my new favorite pasta. It is made with the Lemon and Garlic Chicken from my previous post and is fantastic! I could eat it every day. No joke. It is intensely flavorful, nothing like you'd expect from a cream sauce, and the lemon makes you feel like you are eating a light dinner (at least that's what I tell myself). I originally found this recipe on but tweaked it just a tad to fit my liking.





Lemon Cream Pasta
from Mel's Kitchen Cafe


3 cups shredded Lemon Garlic Chicken (see previous post)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 (14.5 oz) cans chicken broth
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 (16 oz) package tube pasta (I used rigatoni)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded

b
Directions

In a large saucepan, season the chicken broth with the garlic powder and pepper. Bring to a boil and add lemon juice and pasta. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until all liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes.

Stir chicken into cooked pasta, along with the cream, milk, parmesan cheese and lemon zest. Cook, stirring, over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Stir thoroughly before serving.

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Bread Twists

These are my new go-to bread sticks for two reasons - taste and time. They have a wonderful buttery/garlic flavor and the kosher salt adds a delightful savory crunch.  The other thing I love about these is how quickly they come together.  It only takes one hour from start to finish.  One hour!  That's almost unheard of for a yeast bread.  Try these out next time you want some bread with your dinner but are short on time.
