What is your personal best recipe for a romantic dinner for two? How do you make it?

Answer 1

Chicken in Champagne Sauce

4 boneless chicken b*****s

1 tsp thyme

1 tsp seasoned salt (Lawry’s)

1 tsp garlic salt or powder

6 tbs light margarine or butter

2/3 cup Asti Spumante or any sweet wine (use the cheapest you can find)

2 tsp flour (more if needed to thicken)

1 cup half and half or lowfat milk

Sprinkle chicken b*****s with all seasonings. Heat butter in frying pan. Brown chicken. Add Asti or wine. Cover pan and simmer about 30- 40 minutes, turning twice, until chicken is tender. Remove chicken and keep warm. Thicken sauce with flour. Stir in half and half and heat sauce. Add chicken to sauce to coat. Makes 4 servings

Serving suggestions: Serve with boiled red potatoes or mashed potatoes with sauce on top and steamed broccoli.

Quick Chicken Parmesan

4 Boneless Chicken b*****s, pounded flat

1 jar Spaghetti Sauce (I use Prego mushroom and garlic)

3 oz. Mozzarella Cheese, grated

2 cups Italian Bread Crumbs

2 oz. Parmesan Cheese

1/2 tsp garlic salt

1 egg, plus 1 tbs water, slightly beaten

Mix Italian breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and garlic salt together in bowl. Beat 1 egg in another bowl, 1 tbs water and a dash of garlic salt. Dip chicken in egg, then in crumbs and fry in oil until brown on each side (10 – 15 min each side). Pour spaghetti sauce over chicken and sprinkle with cheese, cover so cheese melts and serve. Makes 4 servings.

Serving Suggestions:

I serve this with Fettuccini Alfredo and garlic bread.

Creamy Fettuccini Alfredo

1 – 8 oz. Package Philly Cream Cheese (I use the light version – 1/3 less fat), cubed

¾ cup (3 oz.) fresh grated Parmesan cheese (I like De Giorno, don’t use Kraft)

½ cup margarine (I use I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Light)

½ cup milk or half and half (I use 1% or 2% low fat)

8 oz. fettuccini, cooked, drained (I use the fresh Contadina low fat one)

In large saucepan, combine cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, margarine and milk.

Stir over low heat until smooth. Add to drained fettuccini and toss lightly. Sprinkle with fresh Parmesan cheese if desired. Makes 4 servings

Answer 2

I would suggest some sort of meat. Steak, chicken or seafood like lobster. Cook well and season do a nice classic caesar salad and do some sort of a potatoe side like red potatoes seasoned and baked or a rice pilaf. Have wine with it and do a nice cheesecake for later.
