Italian Dressing….It is so versatile! Here is a great, quick and lowfat dish for you to try!

Wednesday, March 7th, 2012

I want to thank Kraft foods for bottling Zesty Italian Dressing!  I use it on a lot of things, I mean a lot!  It’s great for marinating chicken and shrimp.  If you are a liver fan (I’m not) you can marinate the liver in Italian Dressing to remove the liver taste, why not just eat a steak?  I love it over fresh veggies for a quick salad, it’s great on salad; but one of my most favorite ways to use it is this quick and easy ZESTY CHICKEN AND PASTA ~

It is a really forgiving recipe, just use up the fresh veggies you have in the fridge!  The kids even will eat it!!

ZESTY CHICKEN & PASTA ~

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed

1/2 – 3/4 cup Zesty Italian Dressing

2 cups broccoli florets

1 small onion, thinly sliced

1 large red bell pepper thinly sliced

1 T. Parsley, chopped

1/4 cup fresh Parmesan Cheese

8oz. cooked and drained pasta – whatever you have in the cupboard

Cook chicken in 1/4 cup dressing until pink, add veggies and parsley.  Cook until tender, stirring occasionally.  Toss with pasta and remaining dressing, sprinkle with cheese.

Cheers!
