Mozzarella Chicken

Posted Fri, 08/01/03

After last Sunday's dinner event, one might think me mad to attempt cooking again so soon. I know most folks do the detailed drudge of cooking every day, but because of my writing schedule along with lack of desire to clean up another mess, I've held cooking at bay while Wilbert and I consumed leftovers from our bountiful Sunday feast. But now as the week dwindles down, it's time to whip up another dish that will hopefully stretch out for a few days.

 

My first reliable source is Food Fare, of course. Sometimes I like to dream up a new dish that will find itself to the web site eventually if all goes well. However, tonight I'm opting for a rather easy recipe originating from Campbell's Kitchen, my old faithful resource.

 

Since Wilbert and I love chicken in just about any form, I chose the following for tonight's new meal:

 

Mozzarella Chicken

4 boneless chicken breast halves

1 can Campbell's tomato soup

1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning or dried oregano leaves, crushed

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 C shredded mozzarella cheese

4 C hot-cooked corkscrew pasta, cooked without salt

 

Place the chicken in a two-quart shallow baking dish. Mix the soup, Italian seasonings and garlic and spoon over the chicken. Bake at 400-degrees F for twenty minutes or until done. Sprinkle the cheese over the chicken. Serve over or with the pasta.

I'll be using chicken drumsticks and thighs with the skin on, so the cooking time will be longer. I also plan to prepare a fresh green salad and peas for sides.
