Three weeks ago I got a Costco membership and I was way too excited. I am 24 years old and after getting this membership I felt like an adult. (Don’t judge me!) Anyway, one thing I love about Costco is the food court and my absolute favorite item is the Chicken Bake. Well, due to COVID-19 they are not making Chicken Bakes and I was absolutely heartbroken. That is, until, I saw this recipe! Here is a recipe for a copy-cat recipe for the Costco Chicken Bake!
Ingredients: 1 lb of pizza dough 2 chicken breasts; cubed 2 green onions; chopped 4 strips of bacon; chopped ¼ cup of caesar dressing 1 cup of mozzarella cheese 1 cup of parmesan cheese 2 tsp olive oil Egg wash Salt and pepper to taste Optional: Italian seasonings and parsley Directions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Start by seasoning your chicken with salt and pepper then frying it in the olive oil until fully cooked and slightly browned. Fry bacon until crispy. Drain oil and set to the side. Roll out pizza dough to your desired size (I rolled mine to about a 9x9 square.) Spread the caesar dressing onto the dough then fill with the chicken, bacon, green onion, and the cheeses. Wrap up the dough, then brush on the egg wash, and top with more mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Bake on a cookie sheet with aluminum foil for 30 minutes or until golden brown. (I sprayed the foil with non-stick spray to prevent sticking) I didn’t realize when I made these how much they would rise. My chicken bakes were massive! Oh, the original recipe called for dried parsley and Italian seasonings. Well, I had both and completely forgot to add them. They were delicious without them so I consider that a win! As usual, if you try this recipe, let me know how it came out, and please sent me pictures!

Anthony and I are officially bored with dinner. We have run out of ideas for meals to eat. I have even lost the want to cook. So, I did what I do best, research! I went to Pinterest to get some new dinner ideas and I was not disappointed. I found a recipe for Rigatoni with Sausage, Tomatoes, and Zucchini which I named, Yummy Rigatoni. I want to share with you my modified recipe.
Ingredients: 12 oz Beef Kielbasa sausage; chopped 2 TBSP of minced garlic 1 cup Grape tomatoes; chopped in half ¼ Yellow onion; chopped finely 1 Zucchini; diced 1 6 oz can of Tomato paste 1 14.5 oz can Chicken broth ½ a box of Rigatoni pasta 1/2 tsp Black pepper 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes 1 tsp Salt A dash of dried basil 3 tbsp Olive oil 1 TBSP Parmesan cheese Directions: Start by boiling water with a little bit of oil and salt. Once it gets to a steady boil add in the Rigatoni pasta and cook until al dente. While that is cooking start by sauteing your onion and pepper flakes in a deep frying pan with the remainder of the olive oil until the onion is very soft. Once that is done, toss in the kielbasa and garlic then cook for five minutes or until the garlic is fragrant. Once that is cooked, pour the broth and tomato paste into the pot. Mix until the tomato paste is evenly spread then add in the tomatoes and zucchini. Season with the dried basil and black pepper. Lastly, lower heat, then cover with a lid for ten minutes. Once pasta is ready, Mix the pasta into the sauce mixture then top with Parmesan cheese. This recipe serves six servings or two servings each for three people. I made it for Anthony, our friend Maria and myself and it was a hit. If you are a pasta lover I would highly recommend giving this a try. It was hubby approved so I consider that a win! **Original recipe found at https://bakerbynature.com/rigatoni-with-sausage-tomatoes-and-zucchini/ |
