Lemon Garlic Pasta Cream Chicken w/ Focaccia Bread

This morning after working out , i decided just to make focaccia bread , it’s raining and we had nothing else to do today anyway . So , i put the dough in the bread machine , letting it go , actually you could made it manually , by hand , but to save time and less messy i just let the bread machines take care of the dough . It didn’t take long , about 1 hour and half and the dough was ready to be baked . I put some herbs in the dough , thyme , garlic , basil oregano and black pepper . On top of the bread , i grated some parmesan , well i let the food processor did the job 😀 easy enough .. and sprinkled on top of the bread and baked them for 20 minutes , super easy . And it got done before we left to pick up Nick .

For the focaccia bread , u need :

1 cup of luke warm water

1 tbsp. of vegetable oil

pinch of salt

1 tsp. of garlic powder

1 tsp. of oregano

1 tsp. of basil

1/2 tsp. of dried thyme

1 tbsp. of active dry yeast

1 tsp. sugar

In a bread machine , put the ingredients in order . Set the setting to dough and once done , take it out , take the dough out and roll them out in a baking sheet about 1/2 inch thickness . Spread 2 tbsp. olive oil , and sprinkle with parmesan cheese . Bake for 20 minutes at 450 F .

So since i made the bread , i thought this will be good with lemon garlic pasta cream chicken . It’s a new recipe i tried and i wish i would have used orzo in this , it would have been better , but instead i used elbow macaroni . To me , the taste almost like lemon rice chicken from Jedi’s . Next time i think i will try it with orzo !! Super easy and quick and if u like lemon , i think u’d love this recipe

You will need :

8 oz of orzo pasta or rotelle , or elbow macaroni

3 piece of chicken breast bone in

4 cups of chicken broth

1/4 cup of lemon juice

1 lemon

salt pepper

1/2 tsp and more garlic powder

Preheat oven to 350 F , sprinkle the chicken breasts with lemon juice from 1 lemon , and salt pepper and enough garlic powder. Bake about 40 minutes until juices run clear . Set aside .

In a sauce pan / small pot , add chicken broth , and garlic and black pepper , and bring to boil . Add 1/4 cup of lemon juice , add the pasta , cook on medium low for 25 minutes until broth almost gone , but not all gone . Add the chicken pieces that’s been cut into bite size and 1 cup of heavy cream , and chopped parsley . Cook for 5 minutes on low , and sauce should be thicken up .
