I told you I’d share the Grilled Chicken Penne al Fresco recipe from the Pampered Chef party and I am! This is a recipe that can be made on the stove or in the microwave using the Deep Covered Baker. It’s a time saving, delicious, and healthy meal! You can see a few more pictures in my original post!
INGREDIENTS
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes
- 3 cups uncooked mezze penne pasta
- 3 cups chicken broth
- ¾ cup dry white wine such as Chardonnay
- ½ tsp each salt and coarsely ground black pepper
- 1¼ cups lightly packed fresh basil leaves, divided
- 1 oz Parmesan cheese, grated (about ¼ cup packed)
- 2 cups diced grilled chicken breasts
- Additional grated fresh Parmesan cheese
- coarsely ground black pepper (optional)
DIRECTIONS
1. Spray Deep Covered Baker with olive oil using Kitchen Spritzer. Slice garlic into baker using Garlic
Slicer. Add tomatoes. Cover; microwave on HIGH 4-5 minutes or until tomatoes begin to burst, stirring
after 2 minutes. Crush tomatoes using Mix ‘N Chop. Add pasta, broth, wine, salt and black pepper.
2. Return baker to microwave; cover and microwave on HIGH 16-18 minutes or until pasta is tender, stirring
after 10 minutes. Meanwhile, coarsely chop basil with Chef’s Knife. Reserve 2 tbsp for garnish. Grate
cheese using Rotary Grater.
3. Carefully remove baker from microwave and remove lid, lifting away from you. Add remaining basil,
cheese and chicken to baker; mix well. Garnish with reserved 2 tbsp basil, additional Parmesan cheese and black pepper, if desired.
Cook’s Tips: An additional ¾ cup chicken broth can be substituted for the wine, if desired.
Any tube-shaped pasta requiring 9-11 minutes cook time, such as penne or rigatoni, can be substituted for the
mezze penne pasta.
To grill chicken in the Grill Pan, season 2 chicken breasts, about 6 oz each, with salt and black pepper. Heat Grill
Pan over medium-high heat 5 minutes. Spray pan with oil. Cook chicken 4-6 minutes or until grill marks appear.
Turn chicken over; cook 4-6 minutes or until center of chicken is no longer pink and Pocket Thermometer
registers 170°F.

I’d love the Pampered Chef Dots Martini Glasses!
On nights when I am feeling lazy I just cook a few tilapia filets in the oven, mix up black beans, corn and red onion (I generally have onion on hand already sauteed). I plate the tilapia on the mixture with cilantro on top. Yummy!
I’ve never really owned anything by pampered chef other than the bamboo spoons my mother gave me. But I have been told your stoneware is out of this world amazing!
Ginger Syrup
2 C Peeled sliced ginger
2 C sugar
2 C water
Boil in a saucepan about 8 minutes, cool and strain. Great to mix with soda water for home made ginger ale or on fruit. Yum!
I also like the #2877 7-Piece TPC Stainless Cookware Set. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
For a quick & easy fruit dip, mix together 8 oz. softened cream cheese and small container of Marshmallow fluff. I like to add a few drops of red food coloring to turn it pink. Very good with strawberries!

I make pasta and while it cooks, saute onion, garlic, tomatoes, chopped kalamata olives, seasoned with thyme and oregano, a little salt and pepper, in olive oil until they are cooked down. Serve over the pasta with lots of freshly grated parmesan.
i have the older garlic press from pampered chef. Had it for 8 years or so now, and it still is an everyday tool for me. I would love to have the newer one, looks so cool!
I found this online and have used it several times. Saves me tons of money since @ Olive G@rden, it is about $15.99 per plate. I made it with rib eyes for less than $20 bucks!!
I cheated last time though and used the packaged dry alfredo sauce (gasp) and it turned out just as yummy and saved me time! lol

A quick recipe that my family loves is pot roast. I put a 4-5 lb. rump roast into my crockpot, pour 2 cans of beef broth over, throw in some potatoes and baby carrots, and sprinkle a package of onion dip seasoning over the top. Cook on high for 6 hours, and you’re good to go!
