My sister made this chicken soup for my mom when she was not feeling well. It was so good I asked her for the recipe. Turns out, it was her own creation. It’s really good!

INGREDIENTS:

1 quarts chicken broth or stock
1 chicken breast
1 cup snow peas or sugar snap peas, trimmed
1 cup fresh shiitake mushroom caps, cleaned and sliced
handful of maifun (rice noodles) cut into 3-4 inch strands
1 cup small grape tomatoes
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped coarsely
2 tsp. super thin slices of fresh ginger
salt and pepper to taste

Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Saute the chicken just until no longer pink in the middle. Set aside and shred when cool.

Heat 2 quarts of chicken broth or stock in a stockpot over medium heat.

Ad the sliced shiitake and rice noodles to the broth and simmer for about 10minutes. Add the shredded chicken, snow or sugar snap peas, grape tomatoes, cilantro and ginger and simmer for another 10 minutes

You can also add other vegetables like bean sprouts, baby corn, or whatever you feel like having. 🙂

This very simple recipe is so good, it never last for long in my house.

Ingredients:

6 chicken breast, boneless and skinless
1 cup grated Parmesan
1 ½ TBSP dried parsley
1 TBSP oregano
1 ½ tsp paprika
1 tsp pepper
½ cup butter, melted

Instructions:

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-Line a baking dish with foil, otherwise clean up is a nightmare.
-In a shallow bowl, combine cheese and seasonings.
-In another shallow bowl, pour in melted butter.
-Dip each piece of chicken into the butter and then into the seasoned cheese and cot well.
-Arrange on foil lined baking dish. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes.
-Enjoy!

*I usually use Trader Joe’s Pecorine and Romano Parmesan Blend Grated Cheese but any type of Parmesan (fresh or pre-grated) will work.
