Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425F (use convection if you have it) and line a baking sheet with foil (optional but highly recommended, see Notes below)) for easier cleanup.
- Place the chicken on the baking sheet, and pound to an even thickness. I use an empty wine bottle, but a meat pounder or tenderizing tool, a rolling pin, or a heavy frying pan all work. The chicken doesn't need to be pounded 'thin', but it needs to be of pounded to a uniform thickness so it all cooks through at the same time.
- Evenly drizzle the chicken with olive oil and generously season with salt and pepper; set aside.
- To a small bowl, add the remaining ingredients, stir to combine, and evenly spoon the dry rub over the chicken on both sides. I add a bit more to the side that's facing up than the side that's on the bottom in contact with the baking sheet.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (165F) and done.
- Allow chicken to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing into it (cover with foil if desired to keep it warmer). Resting the chicken really helps lock in the juices and moisture so don't skip this step.
- While chicken bakes, to a large platter or bowl, add the lettuce, and chop the vegetables and add them to the bowl, and optionally add the croutons.
- When chicken is done resting, slice it and add it to the bowl. Make sure to get any run off juices from the sheet pan into the salad bowl because there is a ton of flavor in the juices.
- To a small jar or container with a lid (a canning jar works great), add all ingredients, put the lid on and shake vigorously until combined; taste vinaigrette and tweak as necessary to taste. If it is at all flat, it likely needs more salt. Alternatively, use your favorite store bought vinaigrette or dressing.
- Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad as desired (you may not need all of it), toss to combine, and serve immediately.

ONE-PAN CHICKEN WITH CREAMY SUN-DRIED TOMATO PESTO SAUCE
Provided by Heidi
Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- Cook pasta according to package directions, drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring once or twice then transfer to a bowl.
- Meanwhile, season chicken with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and add the chicken. Cook for about 12-15 minutes or until no longer pink (165 degrees F), turning once. Remove the chicken from the skillet and transfer to a plate.
- Add the half and half to the skillet and whisk in the DeLallo Simply Pesto Sun-Dried Tomato with Olive. Season with kosher salt to taste and cook for 2 to 3 minutes then return the mushrooms and chicken to the sauce and mix to coat. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until sauce has reduced slightly. Mix in the spinach. If desired add the cooked pasta to the pan and stir to coat or serve the chicken and sauce over the plain pasta. Garnish with crumbles of goat cheese and parsley.
SPICY RED PESTO PASTA
Today, pesto describes many sauces that don't necessarily adhere to the traditional formula of cheese, basil, nuts and olive oil. This red version, which is inspired by pesto alla Siciliana, the scarlet cousin of green pesto Genovese, leans on sun-dried tomatoes, nuts and tangy roasted red peppers and uses basil as a garnish only. Though pesto is traditionally pounded by hand, a food processor simplifies the effort. This pasta sauce is versatile: Crown it with lemon zest for brightness, or stir in heavy cream for extra richness. Should you find yourself with extra pesto, drizzle it over steak, slather it on sandwiches or serve it alongside a cheese board or crudités.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Prepare the pesto: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, walnuts, tomato paste, garlic and red-pepper flakes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, until mixture is toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl to let cool for a few minutes.
- Add the roasted red peppers and Parmesan to a food processor. Top with the cooled tomato mixture and the remaining 2/3 cup olive oil, and pulse the mixture until you form a paste. (It makes 2 cups.)
- Season the boiling water generously with salt, then add the pasta and cook until al dente. Reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta water, then drain the pasta.
- Return the pasta to the pot, along with about 1 1/2 cups of the red pesto and 1 cup of the pasta water, and stir vigorously until the sauce is glossy and the pasta is evenly coated. Stir in additional pesto or pasta water to taste. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide among bowls, sprinkle with Parmesan and top with torn basil. Shave some fresh lemon zest on top, if using. Serve immediately.
SPICY SUN-DRIED TOMATO CHICKEN ALFREDO
A flavourful all-in-one pasta dish with a bit of a kick. This is one of my 20 minute wonder meals that pleases anyone that I have served it to. It takes a bit to get the timing perfected, depending on the noodles you use but once you have it down-pat, it's great. If you're not into the spices, just omit them and it's still excellent. My kids always ask for seconds.

CHICKEN WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO DRESSING
This is a quick and easy meal to make. I have cooked chicken with sun-dried tomato and oregano dressing for some time, but found a recipe in Chatelaine with the dried seasonings added. Original recipe called for 4 cloves of garlic, but I found that a bit much. I would only use 4 cloves if they were small. Wonderful flavor. Serve this with steamed green beans and rice pilaf.

CHICKEN CHOPPED SALAD
Lime dressing gives lively flavor to this crunchy salad tossed with peaches, peppers and peanuts. The unusual combination is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey and packs well for lunches or picnics. It's also terrific with the addition of grapefruit sections or pineapple tidbits. -Diane Halferty, Corpus Christi, Texas

Steps:
- 1. Put chicken breast, lightly salted & peppered, into ZipLock Zip n' Steam bag, with a shake or two of olive oil and the chopped onion, shake bag to make sure the chicken and onions are well-coated in the olive oil. Microwave on high 3 minutes, pull out and set aside to cool. 2. Toss veggies and parsley together in mixing bowl and set aside. 3. In smaller mixing bowl whisk together dressing ingredients, adjusting to desired taste & consistency. 4. Cut the steamed chicken breast into 1/2" dice, and add (with the onions) to the veggies, and toss. 5. Fold in dressing until everything is evenly coated (I like to add it in thirds so that I don't overdress,) and then toss in the almonds and the grated Parmesan. 6. Enjoy!
