CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI WITH PENNE PASTA; DELICIOUS AND EASY ONE PO
Chicken and broccoli are cooked in olive oil flavored with Tuscany seasoning and garlic. They are removed to a holding bowl while while pasta is cooked in the same pan with chicken broth. When cooked al dente, reserved chicken and broccoli are mixed with the pasta along with parmigiana cheese to taste. Make the dish creamy, simply by stirring in cream cheese.

JERK CHICKEN - FAST, EASY AND DELICIOUS
We love spicy foods and tender juicy chicken. This recipe is great combination of both. If you have children, simply omit the Jerk Sauce from their portion. Keep in mind that you can make this recipe as spicy or as mild as you wish by simply adjusting the marination time or adding dry Jerk Seasoning to the marinade to kick it up. I love to serve my Garlic Fry recipe with this dish and a nice salad. Note that this recipe works great for boneless, skinless chicken breast and I have also used it on pork cuts. Prep time does not include overnight marination.

CHICKEN SHERRY (EASY AND SUPER DELICIOUS)
I created this very easy recipe many years ago that everyone has loved. Many years ago, for a short while, I was the chef at the Governor's Mansion in Atlanta for Governor and First Lady Busbee. Jackie Kennedy had been a dinner guest when I served this recipe, and she wanted to give it to her chef. I refused and Jackie was furious to say the least. She went to her grave never getting this recipe, and now that I am posting it on RecipeZaar, the entire world will have it. Even a beginner cook can make this recipe.

JHAL FREZI CHICKEN--EASY AND DELICIOUS!
This is an easy and delicious Pakistani/Indian recipe that is wonderful with any kind of Pakistani/Indian or Middle Eastern bread (chapati, naan, roti, pita, and if you just can't find/make any, then even soft tortillas) or basmati rice. "Jhal Frezi" means "dry fry" so there is not a lot of sauce when this is finished. You can find most spices in the spice section at your grocery store but you can get more for the same prices at an Indian/Middle Eastern market.

Tips:

- Season the chicken well: Before cooking, season the chicken with salt, pepper, and other spices or herbs of your choice. This will help enhance the flavor of the dish.
- Use a variety of cooking methods: Chicken can be cooked in a variety of ways, including baking, roasting, frying, and grilling. Experiment with different methods to find the one that you like best.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
- Let the chicken rest before serving: After cooking, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
