One of the easiest, healthiest Restaurant Style dishes you can make at home is my Chicken Primavera Aioli. You can easily change up the ingredients depending upon what you have on hand and serve this delicious saute dish over your favorite pasta or grain.
Let’s start by gathering our ingredients aka Mise en Place.
This shows you how I set up for each weekly show. I have an induction cooktop that I absolutely love. And just to show you how crazy I am, I run my show with a mac and a pc.
Of course the finished dish is well worth the effort. Garden fresh vegetables lightly sauteed with olive oil and garlic! Toss those with your favorite pasta or grain and you have a healthy and delicious dinner that you can make in about 25 minutes (including your prep time).
Lisa was at work when I made this dish and since it was for dinner later in the day I placed the Chicken Primavera Aioli in a small baking dish and placed it in the refrigerator for later. When it was time for dinner I added a little chicken stock to the dish (don’t do this ahead of time the pasta will soak up the liquid), added shredded mozzarella to the top and baked it at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Needless to say she loved every bite and we had a very clean kitchen after dinner since I had made the dish earlier in the day.
