The Supper Challenge: Day 2

June 17, 2009 > No Comments

Supper tonight was a quick throw together meal which is good because I had several errands to run and a piano lesson late in the afternoon.

I found the recipe for Mordecai’s Chicken in a church cookbook Come and Dine put out by Antioch Baptist Church in Knoxville, TN. A year ago I was flipping through it and the ingredients for this recipe were such common pantry items that it drew my attention.

I’ve since made Mordecai’s Chicken a dozen times or more. My 7 yr old even requested it for his birthday meal. To round out this meal you could serve with french bread and a salad.

Mordecai’s Chicken

3 chicken breasts, diced

2 packets dry Italian dressing

1 box thin cooked spaghetti

1/2 cup olive oil

3 Tablespoon soy sauce

Start the water for your spaghetti noodles. Cook according to directions.

While spaghetti is cooking saute chicken in olive oil. I usually use frozen chicken tenderloins so I cook the tenderloins in the oil. Then just before I add the other ingredients I cut the chicken into bite size pieces.

Add dressing packet and soy sauce.

When spaghetti is done; drain and add to chicken mixture. Stir to coat. If you need a bit more “sauce” add more soy sauce and oil.
