quick and easy meals for 1 or 2

Poppop and gammy’s fast and easy chicken and roast peppers.


Poppop and gammy’s neat meal. Poppop has had a little wine while watching tv so bear with him.

We were a little late getting home and needed to go with what we had on hand, so this is it.

It sorta starts with roasted peppers. Poppop keeps some roasted peppers in the fridge all the time. You can get some in the super market in the canned veggie department either in olive oil or water. I obviously prefer olive oil.

4-6 chicken tenders
3-4 cloves of garlic minced
1 roasted pepper cut up into bite sized pieces. I don’t know what to tell you here about how much except that a small jar of roasted peppers off the shelf will work. If you would like to learn the way poppop does it just email me at poppop0440@yahoo.com
1/3-1/2 lb of penne pasta
dried basil
balsamic vinager

put a med sized pot of water with a dash of salt on to boil. When it boils add the pasta and stir immediately. Lower the heat a little and keep stirring regularly until almost done. put a frying pan big enough to handle the chicken and the pasta on med high with a little olive oil. Cook the chicken until firm to the touch. Remove and cut up into about ¾ inch sized pieces.

Add the garlic, roasted peppers, a dash or 2 of the basalmic vinager, the chicken and a big pinch of dried basil and the drained pasta (it should be done by now).Add some shredded mozzarella cheese. Toss it a while and ,,,,,,,,,,,,,

SERVE IT UP!! We liked this a lot! Guess what?! We had some Italian bread, olive oil for dipping, some spinach salad and some Chianti!
