http://www.dailyunadventuresincooking.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/cream_mushroom_chicken_pasta.jpg

•No touching knives or the stove
•Do not touch any appliances without adult supervision.
•Always wash your hands before handling food.

This is a delicious and quick one-pot wonder. If you want, you can use herb and garlic seasoned diced tomatoes instead of the plain kind – but omit the basil in the recipe and save yourself a step when making this wonderful One-pot pasta with chicken and mushrooms recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable or olive oil
  • 1 lb (500 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch (2 cm) chunks
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1.5 cups (375 mL) sliced mushrooms
  • 1 can (28-oz.798 mL) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup (250 mL) water
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) dried basil
  • 2 cups (500 mL) smallish pasta, such as shells, bow ties, fusilli or elbows
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
  • black pepper to taste

Cooking Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken chunks and cook, stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes or until just beginning to brown. With a slotted spoon, remove chicken chunks to a bowl leaving the as much of the oil behind in the pan as possible.
  2. Add the onion and mushrooms to the pot and cook until softened – 5 to 7 minutes. Add the tomatoes, water and basil, bring to a boil, then stir in the uncooked pasta. Cover with a lid, lower the heat to medium low and cook for about 10 minutes or until the pasta is tender but not mushy, stirring once in a while. Drain any excess water.
  3. Return the chicken to the pan, and cook for about 3 minutes, until the mixture is completely heated through. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Servings: Makes about 4 servings.

Blueberry Lemon Loaf!

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3215/2658333885_0e4fa12fa9.jpg

•No touching knives or the stove
•Do not touch any appliances without adult supervision.
•Always wash your hands before handling food.

Light and lemony, this delicious loaf makes the perfect companion to a tall glass of iced tea or a steaming mug of tea. Use fresh blueberries when they’re in season, or frozen ones anytime of year.

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) all purpose flour
  • 2-1/2 tsp. (7 mL) baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. (1 mL) salt
  • 1 cup (250 mL) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 lemon (peel grated, juice squeezed)
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) milk
  • 1 cup 250 (mL) blueberries, fresh or frozen (don’t thaw if using frozen)

Lemon glaze:

  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) granulated sugar
  • juice from one lemon (above)

Cooking Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degree F (180 degree C). Grease a 9 x 5-inch (23 x 13 cm) loaf pan.
  2. In a bowl, stir together the flour, the baking powder and the salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat the sugar and the butter for a few minutes until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each one. Beat in the grated lemon peel. Add the flour mixture in two or three portions, alternately with the milk, beating just until the batter is smooth. Quickly fold in the blueberries, just until they’re evenly distributed. If you’re using frozen berries, the batter will turn blue — don’t panic, it will look fine when it’s baked.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60 to 70 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick poked into the middle comes out clean. Leave it in the pan while you prepare the lemon syrup.
  5. In a small microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup, combine the 1/4 cup (50 mL) of granulated sugar with the lemon juice. Microwave on high power for 30 to 45 seconds — just until the mixture boils. Remove from microwave and give it a stir. With a toothpick, poke holes all over the top of the Blueberry Loaf. Using a wide pastry brush, brush the top of the hot loaf with the hot syrup. Let cool for at least 30 minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack and cool completely.

Servings: 8
