Easy Recipe Spicy Lemon Pepper Chicken Pasta 

Easy Recipe Spicy Lemon Pepper Chicken Pasta

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy Sunday, I hope you’re having a great weekend. It’s been snowing for the last 5 days at our home and I am already so over winter!

Today I am sharing a quick and easy recipe for Spicy lemon pepper chicken pasta, that I created this week from leftovers for my Sunday “In the Kitchen with D’Arcy”. This is a great way to use up leftovers or use the recipes below to create 3 easy meals this week. 

Meal #1 We had Smoked lemon peppered chicken on Monday, Full Recipe Here Served with Baked potatoes and asparagus. Yum, we had about 1 1/2 cups of the chicken left. Then on Tuesday, I made one of our favorite pasta dishes See the Recipe HERE & I had Substituted penne pasta, with about 2 1/2 cups of pasta left. Meal # 3 on Friday decided to throw together this quick dish, from what I had in the fridge, from meal 1&2, and let me tell you it was so good. Serve with My Cheater’s homemade garlic bread and a green salad.

 

Easy Recipe Spicy Lemon Pepper Chicken Pasta

Ingredients:

-2 tablespoons olive oil 

-1/2 cup chili onion crunch (Trader Joe’s )

-2 Tablespoons Butter 

-1 1/2 cup chopped  smoked/grilled  lemon pepper  chicken (substitute any protein you have) 

-1 tomato chopped

-1/2 cup chopped fresh basil 

-1 cup shredded Parmesan, Romano Asiago cheeses mixed

-2 to 2 1/2 cup cooked penne pasta  

How to make this one-pot dish:

I created this quick 10-minute meal with leftovers from the fridge. Heat skillet/pan add olive oil, then chili onion crunch, add butter mix together. Add in the tomatoes, stir, then the cooked chicken stir, add the basil and top cheese stir, and serve…A quick lunch or dinner in one pan…. Use what you have to create a yummy meal as well as waste nothing!

Part 2 Summer Time favorite Moment’s… A little Sa Part 2 
Summer Time favorite Moment’s…
A little Saturday Series, I am doing to finish out Summer…

We officially have 3 more weeks left of Summer☀️🪴🪏🌻

I thought it would be Fun to share some moments that make my “favorites”❤️

🚨Come Back Next Saturday to see what made my list….

Today’s “Summer Moment”
Exploring the state we live in..
Ben and I have always loved embracing where we live, by getting out and exploring..
Doing stay-cations, pretty drives, enjoying the great outdoors and exploring fun little towns and the charming small business that fill them.

We love a good day date and Midway, located outside of Deer Valley, is a charming 🇨🇭Swiss town, that we’ve enjoyed bring our family to for years. 

It’s evolved over the years, (know for hosting “Swiss Days” 🇨🇭 the first weekend in September), is full of darling small business, from Cute gift & home decor shops, farm stores, several delicious restaurants, a charming book store, and something our family loves several farm to table shopping and eating establishments. 

If you love to support ranches, farmers and small local business, this is a must visit town. 
⛰️Surrounded by stunning mountains, green pastures and gorgeous ranches. 

Here’s a few of our favorites:⬇️
@havenhaus_co 
@ballerinafarmstore 
@thedaintypearco 
@folkloremidway 
@midway_mercantile 
@hebervalleycheese 

The @zermattutah is our favorite Charming  Swiss 🇨🇭Hotel to stay at, and our boys always loved they’re pool in the winter😉

Tell me, what’s something you do in the summer to make “moment’s”?

—3 WAYS TO STYLE— The best tip any stylist could —3 WAYS TO STYLE—

The best tip any stylist could give you…
Is when your shopping and something catches your eye, make sure you can style it or wear it 3 ways.

This helps you get more use out of your closet, which also helps you  to create different outfit with items you already own.

How cute is this babydoll eyelet lace dress, with v neck and slightly puffed sleeve. An affordable find that can be styled so many ways. 

I created 3 easy to style with this great summer to fall transition dress. 

1. Coastal- shell necklace, raffia sandals with a straw bag
2. A little western with red cowboy boots, a scarf, Horsebit necklace, and a cowboy hat 
3. Work wear- styled with a blazer,cane and leather kitten heals and a cane clutch with tortoiseshell chain handle

Part 9

6 Clean Beauty products I used up and loved so much I reordered.
 
Being diagnosed with Melanoma Facial cancer in December, has been quite the journey, to say the least! Leaving me with a facial scar from my eye to my jaw, and really left me wanting to learn more about Melanoma, what causes this deadly cancer and ways to heal, protect myself, and hopefully help others.

1 part of this journey was to clean up my beauty products, as our skin is our biggest living organ and woman put deadly unhealthy products on it and in it every single day.

6 Clean Vegan and organic Beauty products I loved & reordered: 

-100% Grass Fed whipped Tallow cream
Super hydrating and great moisturizer 
- The Standard Hair oil is a must for healthy hair
-SPF 30 Tinted moisturizer 
—Best seller Perfume that gets you compliments 
- sunless tan anti aging serum
