Directions
Baked Garlic Chicken & Mozzarella With Pasta * Fazoli’s Copy, After dinner with Mom at Fazoli’s, I altered a recipe from Taste of Home’s Country Chicken cookbook, and this is the amazingly excellent result Great for dinner parties and delicious for a week-night supper with the family all around the table!, This was great!! Next time I will cook the pasta for only 1/2 the time suggested on the package to avoid the pasta being too mushy after baking it in the oven All in all, I thought it tasted pretty good I did not have biscuit mix, so used a pancake mix and that worked really well Next time I will try adding a can of diced tomatoes , There were just the 2 of us so I cut this recipe in half & still had plenty to share with a neighbor couple! No homemade tomato sauce here (so used store-bought), but did have some homemade pasta sauce, & pretty much followed your recipe for a wonderfully satisfying chicken main dish! Couldn’t have been better! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in I Recommend recipe tag]

Planned Overs #1: Whatever Meat Is Left, Cut Into Bite-Size Pieces, Mix Thoroughly Into Remaining Pasta, Cheese and Sauce. at the Next Meal, You May Need to Add a Few Drops of Water or Sauce to Juice It Up, but Reheated--This Works Beautifully. |
