308 Part IV: The Part of Tens

Cookin’ a Quick Chicken Dinner

Tender and moist Chicken with Tomato-Mushroom Sauce, found in Chapter

9, has a hint of white wine, tastes great, and looks great with the colorful

vegetables in it. Don’t worry about serving this to kids with wine in the sauce.

Very little wine is used, and the alcohol cooks out. However, if you like, the

wine can be substituted with chicken broth. The dish takes about 20 minutes

to cook, just enough time to make the pasta.

Menu:

✓ Chicken with Tomato-Mushroom Sauce (Chapter 9)

✓ Whole-wheat pasta tossed with olive oil and shredded Parmesan cheese

✓ Fresh cut watermelon
