Hurricane Chicken!



Hurricane Rita Chicken & Pasta

1 pkg chicken tenders or chicken breasts
1 container mixed Good Seasons Italian Dressing
1 pkg cooked pasta ( I use whole grain farfalle but you can use just about any small pasta you want)
2 cans quartered artichoke hearts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In glass baking dish put chicken and cover with 1 bottle Good seasons Italian dressing. Bake until done. I usually bake 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the chicken cut I use. No need to turn chicken during cooking and because of dressing chicken stays nice and moist.

Prepare Pasta per package directions. When Chicken is done cut into bite size pieces. Logically, you could do this before but I do not. Toss chicken and remaining dressing with pasta. Add more Good Seasons (mixed up) to the mix to taste.

We usually grate fresh parmesan on top and serve with salad and bread.

And yes, like it's name it was concocted while we were weathering what we got of Hurricane Rita.
