Such a quick weeknight meal!

ok.. so if you want a Quick, delicious and super easy weeknight meal.. this is the dish for you! I took 2 chicken breast(this is only one in the picture), pound it out with a mallot.Or you could use a pan or a hammer(yes, when you pound out 1 chicken breast.. believe it or not, this is what you get). Pound the chicken out until it looks pretty flat. I put the meat in a large ziplock bag to achieve this. Then once that is complete, I take the breasts out and cut them into half and place in a separate large ziplock bag. Take about 1/4-1/3 of a cup of your favorite LITE caesar dressing(I LOVE Ken's steak House) and pour that into your ziplock bag. Take your fav. spices and add. I also add about 3 tablespoons of white wine. Marinate for about 20-30 min. If you really want to make this easy. Marinate the night before and when you come home from work.. this dinner will literally take about 10-15 min.!

I bought a bag of frozen tortellini, place that in salted boiling water for 7-10 min. (until tender) and drain. While you are boiling the water have your chicken breasts on med-high on a skillet(I prefer cast iron, but whatever you have will work. Just be sure that you have pam spray so it won't stick.You can use olive oil but the cooking spray will save on calories). Cook the chicken 5-6 min per side (or until the meat feels like when you push on your forehead with your finger.. Hint.. if you press on your face cheeks mean rare, chin means med-rare, temple is med.-well and forehead is well done. we know chicken needs to be well done). Last but not least, take your favorite store-bought spaghetti sauce.. add some spices and garlic and Italian seasoning, heat up and pour over that tortellini!  sprinkle some parmesan cheese and wallllllaaaaaaaaaaa! dinner really quick! I know I have chatted a lot but trust me this is DEF. a quick weeknight dinner! If you want to add some veggies.. Make a quick salad with that great caesar dressing you used on the chicken! Happy eating!
