or any poultry seasoning. garlic powder add chicken to egg wash and then bread crumbs.
After all that put olive oil in saucepan, then add flattend chicken.when saucepan gets hot
RiCE- NO brainer.. read the box!

Pasta - You can use any type my fav is linguine, or bowtie, we dont eat alot of meat so I use ground turkey meat. Season it with thyme, pepper, chili powder, 1 1/2 tblspoon of garlice power, salt and pepper, and chopped onions. Add your fav tomatoe sauce and ther you have it !

Meatloaf:
Add chopped onion, celery,thyme,basil,garlic,bbq sauce or ketchup mix it into egg, the meat and cover with bread crumbs bake it for a bout half an hour depends on size.
Grab some butter. milk, heavy cream, basil, salt, and mozzarella cheese and american mix it and add cooked pasta.

GOOD LUCK THEY ARE ALL REALLY GOOD. TO BE HEALTHIER ADD A SALAD TO EAT.
Also the pasta meat you can use as tacos, or taco salad, also use the meatloaf for meatloaf sandwiches, and the chicken can be saved for at least 3 days.. as sandwich meat also.. Hope you enjoy

How to make meatloaf?

I am 20 just recently got married, so the whole cooking thing is still new to me. My husband is a picky eater! He said he likes meatloaf, but I'm not sure how to make it. He doesn't like mushrooms and onions and all that stuff so, pretty much, which is the easy way to make meatloaf?


Answer
There are a lot of meatloaf recipes out there but basically it is meat with a binder (egg &/or breadcrumbs &/or crackers &/or cheese), some seasonings and maybe some veggies (celery, carrots) - then you bake it in the oven.
One hit I will give you is that you should lower fat meat so you don't have it sitting in a pool of grease.


Meatloaf Recipe
1 lb. hamburger
1 egg
1 pkg. saltines (crushed) ½ tsp. salt & pepper
1 clove of garlic (minced) 1 rib of celery (chopped)
dash of Worcestershire sauce ½ cup ketchup
Mix all ingredients and shape into a loaf.
Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
Drain out fat and put back in for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and let stand for 15 minutes
before slicing,then serve.
You can make a brown gravy to pour on it
or you can have ketchup instead.

Here is something a bit different:
Turkey Meatloaf Muffins with Mushroom Sauce
by Michael Bonacini
An entree for the discriminating palette
3 cups ground turkey breast
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 medium Spanish onion, finely diced
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp freshly chopped thyme
1 whole egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Splash of vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste

1. In a small frying pan over medium high heat, gently cook the diced onion and garlic in a splash of vegetable oil until soft and tender, about four or five minutes. Once cooked remove from heat and allow to cool.
2. In a large mixing bowl, place the ground turkey, egg, milk and breadcrumbs. Season well with salt and pepper.
3. Add the cooked and cooled onion and garlic, followed by the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce and mix thoroughly. You may wish to fry a little of the mixture up in the pan to taste and check for seasoning.
4. Once satisfied that the seasoning is correct, divide the mixture into six or eight muffin piece sizes and place into a lightly oiled muffin pan. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350F to 375F degrees for approximately 35 to 40 minutes.
5. Serves 6 to 8.

Mushroom Sauce
2 cups mushrooms of your choice, sliced and diced
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup Madera (a type of wine)
1 tbsp butter
Splash of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

1. In a frying pan over medium-high heat, begin to sauté the mushrooms in a splash of olive oil, stirring and seasoning with salt and pepper.
2. Once the mushrooms begin to soften, add Madera and reduce by half.
3. Add the chicken broth and reduce by half.
4. Remove from heat, add the butter to enrich your sauce and serve.
