Last night we tried a new tomato sauce Prego® Cooking Sauces Tomato & Fresh Ricotta. And it is now a new family favorite. With this product there is no reason to wait for pasta night to bring everyone around a delicious Prego family meal. Because all you need is some fresh chicken, 20 minutes, and Prego Cooking Sauce to create your family’s new favorite meal – pasta optional.
You simply brown chicken in a pan for 5 minutes in oil. Then, pour the entire jar on top of the chicken and simmer for about 15 minutes or until it is fully cooked. You can chop up the chicken before or after it is cooked. For dinner I served the chicken over zoodles with mozzarella. It was so delicious, we will be adding it to our weekly rotation.
One of the perks of working from home is that I get to enjoy leftovers for lunch. The chicken was so tender and delicious I could not wait to try it again. Today I made a new spin on one of my favorites: at Hot Chicken Caprese Sandwich.
Chicken Caprese Sandwich
This recipe is so easy and yummy. I made it again for dinner and my family loved it. You could make it in the toaster oven or in a pan. I made it in a pan. This recipe combines one of my favorite summer salads, the caprese, with the deliciousness of a grilled chicken tomato and ricotta sandwich! To get the cheese to melt I turned the heat to low and added a lid to the pan until the cheese melted. See the full recipe below.
Now is a great time to stock up on Prego Cooking Sauce they are a BOGO at Publix from now until August 3rd. They have three great flavors: Creamy Lemon Parmesan, Creamy Marsala, and Tomato & Fresh Ricotta. Enjoy “pasta night” more often without having to serve pasta – “just add chicken”
