cooking dinner

Cooking is one thing I really enjoy.
Good food is another.


So here was our dinner from the other night.
It was pretty delicious!

Tuscan Garlic Chicken 
Recipe: Codee Jones
{if you haven't noticed, I like her recipes}
 
 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups and 1 Tbs flour
5 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbs salt
2 tsp pepper
2 tsp Italian herb seasoning
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 Tbsp roasted garlic, chopped
1/2 cup white cooking wine
1 red pepper, sliced
 baby spinach
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 package fettuccine

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Mix 1 1/2 cups flour, salt, pepper and italian seasoning in a shallow dish.  Coat chicken in the mixture. Heat 2 Tbs oil in large skillet. Cook chicken breasts over med-high heat until golden brown and crisp (about 3 minutes) Add more oil if needed.
Place the cooked chicken on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven and cook for 10-15 minutes or until cooked through.

Cook the pasta according to the package directions, drain and set aside.

Heat 2 Tbs oil in a sauce pan. Add garlic, red pepper and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in 1 Tbs flour, wine, spinach and cream and bring to a boil. Sauce is done when the spinach becomes wilted. Completely stir in the parmesan cheese.  Set aside a small amount of the sauce.
Stir in pasta, and plate.
 Top with chicken and remaining sauce.

Eat and enjoy.
