Herbs de Provence Chicken
Roasted Potatoes Herbs de Provence
Pork Tenderloin with Herb Glaze
Provencal Stuffed Portabellos
Ingredients:
8 ounces penne pasta (I used ziti)4 medium skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 lb total)
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise (I cut it into four pieces, lengthwise)8 thick asparagus spears (8-10 ounces total), trimmed (I bought skinny asparagus so used roughly 20 spears)
3 tbsp olive oil (I used about 6 tbsp)
1 tbsp herbes de Provence, crushed (crushing it brings out the flavor)
1 tbsp snipped fresh thyme (I used dried)1/2 cup shredded Asiago or Pecorino Romano cheese (I used more than that!)
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, rinse chicken; pat dry. Brush chicken, zucchini and asparagus with 1 tbsp of the oil; sprinkle all sides with herbs de Provence and 1/2 tsp salt.
3. Transfer chicken and vegetables to cutting board; cool slightly. Cut chicken and zucchini into 1-inch cubes; slice asparagus into 1-inch-long pieces. Drain pasta; return to saucepan. Add chicken, vegetables, remaining oil and thyme to pasta; toss well. Divide among 4 dinner plates; top with cheese and season with pepper. I put the 1/2 cup shredded Asiago cheese and the extra 3 tbsp olive oil into the saucepan with all the other ingredients. THEN, I put extra shredded cheese on top of my dish.
This is a great way to get a large serving of vegetables into your pasta (not to be a mom or anything). Next time I make this recipe, I will use 2-3 zucchini's and a bit more asparagus, but keep the chicken and pasta amounts the same. Roasting them really imparts great flavor - it is my favorite way to eat them!
Tutti Mangia!
