I am recovering nicely from arthroscopic surgery on my left shoulder. Physical therapy 3 times a day at home and 3 times a weeks at the therapists office, cross country and (finally, back to) work make for one tired mom.
Here are a few meal ideas for this Holiday week...
Smoked Chicken Quesidillas or Wraps
We smoked a chicken along with 2 racks of ribs which were used for tailgating on Saturday (YUM!). You can purchase a rotisserie chicken from the grocery. Pull the chicken from the and place on a soft taco, add cheese and pico de gallo if desired. If you don't have a quesidilla maker you can cook these in a skillet the way you would a grilled cheese. Just spray the soft taco with cooking spray. Use a small sauce pan as a weight. Easy and delicious when paired with guacamole, lettuce, fresh tomatoes and a fresh pico. Add some rice or beans and you have a meal.
Chicken Alfredo Tortellini
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add a bag of frozen cheese tortellini. Cook according to package instructions. Throw in some fresh broccoli and cook for one additional minute.
While the water is boiling, Grill a couple of chicken breasts and slice on the diagonal, set aside.
Drain tortellini and broccoli and place in a large pan, add a jar of Alfredo sauce (I use RAGU), add 1/4 cup water and a generous sprinkle of cayenne pepper. Heat
Serve with sliced chicken.
