  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • 1 pound (450 g) chicken breasts
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

For the creamy lemon sauce

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice

  • In a pan, over medium high heat, heat oil and add the chicken. Season with salt and pepper and cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes. If you have an instant read thermometer, the internal temperature of the chicken must register at 165°F (74°C).

  • Add the cream and the lemon juice, and whisk or stir until you get a smooth sauce. Add the parmesan and stir until it's melted in the sauce.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of pasta water to loosen it and whisk again.
  • Add the pasta, and mix everything together, the pasta with the sauce and the chicken. Taste the pasta with the sauce, and adjust seasonings to your preference.
  • Garnish with extra parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and lemon zest.

Swiss Chicken Casserole

This was an  easy & tasty casserole, My girls also loved it, which makes it a win win!  I served it with green beans and buttermilk biscuits, which was a great combination.  I have to admit that I forgot to buy the cream of chicken so I had to use the cream of mushroom that I had in the pantry.  I think it was still great!  6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts 6 slices Swiss cheese 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup 1/4 cup milk 2 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix          (Pepperidge Farm Herb Blend is good) 1/4 cup butter Preheat oven to 350.  Arrange chicken in 12x8x2 baking dish.  Top with Swiss cheese slices.  Combine soup and milk and stir well.  Spoon mixture over chicken and sprinkle with stuffing mix.  Drizzle butter or margarine over crumbs.  Bake for 50 minutes and enjoy!

There is a washable cloth that is attached to the base by Velcro. The unit comes with four of these cloths, two for floors, two for carpets. To use: Pour water into the tank which is closed by a screw cap. No additives are needed as the steam will do the cleaning. To warm the water, simply plug in the unit. While warming, you must prepare your floors by vacuuming or sweeping. The green light will come on when the water is hot enough to start yo...
