Chicken with Vegetable Sauce

Ingredients:

 

4 large

Chicken breasts, boneless

2 tablespoons

Olive oil

1 small

Onion, yellow, large dice

2 cloves

Garlic, fresh, minced

1 small

Red pepper, large dice

1 small

Green pepper, large dice

1 pint

Cherry tomatoes, cut in half

1 cup

Pasta sauce (jar)

1 teaspoon

Italian seasonings, dried

To taste

Salt

To taste

Pepper

Method of Preparation:

In a 3 quart microwave safe casserole dish, add the olive oil and onion then heat on high (100% power level) for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Remove excess fat from chicken then place on wire rack (make sure the thicker areas of the chicken are towards the center of the rack) then on top shelf of oven. Place the crumb tray on the bottom shelf of the oven (to catch fat drippings).

Place chicken on high rack and a microwave/heat safe plate on the glass turntable to catch any drippings. Broil for 30 minutes (internal temperature must reach 170 degrees F and juices run clear). Turn chicken over after 15 minutes of cooking.

Note: place a microwave/heat safe cup of water on the bottom plate while chicken is cooking. This will add some moisture to the dry convection air as well as the chicken.

While chicken is cooking, add to the onion mixture, garlic, peppers, tomatoes, pasta sauce and Italian seasonings. When chicken has finished cooking set aside and heat the vegetable mixture in the microwave on high (100% power level) for 5 minutes.

Place chicken on platter and spoon vegetable mixture on top.

Makes about 4 servings.

Marinated Salmon over Rice Noodles

Ingredients:

 

2-8oz pieces

Salmon, fresh

1/4 cup

Nappa Cabbage, shredded

1/2 cup

Green Onion, chopped

1/4 cup

Carrots, shredded

1 small bag

Rice Noodles

Marinade:

 

1/2 cup

Soy Sauce

1 Tablespoon

Rice Wine Vinegar

1/2 cup

Orange Juice

4 very thin slices

Ginger, fresh

1/2 tsp.

Sesame seeds

1/4 tsp

Hot Chili Sauce

1/4 cup

Green onions

1 clove

Garlic, minced

Method of preparation:

Blend all the marinade ingredients together in a bowl then add the salmon. Marinate the salmon for at least 3 hours before cooking.

While the salmon is marinating, boil 6 cups of water in a 3 quart microwave safe dish for 10 minutes on high (100% power level). Add the rice noodles and cook for 5 minutes on high (100% power level).

While the rice noodles are cooking begin cutting up the vegetables. Cool the rice noodles down with cold water after draining them to stop the cooking. Add the cut up vegetables and refrigerate.

Place the salmon on the greased high rack and broil for 30-35 minutes (size of pieces may vary, adjust the time accordingly). Remove the salmon and set aside. Heat the rice and vegetable mixture on high (100% power level) for 4 minutes.

Place the noodles on a plate topped off with the salmon. Garnish with some chopped green onions. You can add a little soy sauce to the noodles for some extra flavor.

Makes 2-3 servings
