We (roommate (La) and I) had a slight change in plans for dinner tonight, involving mixed up addresses among other things. Long story short: I had to come up with some sort of dinner, without much to work with. The result was delicious, if I do say so myself, and more than enough for us and our friend Mimi.
Spicy Chicken Rotini
3 frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 jar Bertolli tomato and basil sauce
2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp sugar
1 lb rotini pasta
Pour half of the sauce into the bottom of a crockpot, then stir in the pepper flakes and sugar. Place the chicken breasts in, then pour the remaining sauce on top. I stirred it all around as much as I could, placed the cover on, and set it high for about 4-5 hours. When we were hungry, I shredded the chicken in the pot and mixed it together. Serve over rotini.
I also served creamed corn, which is called (creatively enough) Allyn's special corn.
1 package frozen corn
1 tbsp butter
3 tbsp heavy cream
2 tsp salt
10 good shakes of Tony's, or to taste
Throw it all together in a saucepan with a lid, over medium low heat for about twenty minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the corn is thoroughly heated, take the lid off and cook until the cream has thickened.
La's homemade lemon drops helped round the evening out.
The corn was delish! My first ever date with Tonie. :)
