Spicy Chicken Breast Caprese w/pasta

This is a super delicious dish that I love to make. Sometimes I will sprinkle little extra pepper flakes on mine but I try to keep it fairly mild for the kids.

Chicken Pillows

This is a recipe that I have adapted from the Real Mom Cookbook. I love mushrooms and I love these. I usually saute the rest of the mushrooms from the pack and serve them with dinner. You could probably use canned mushrooms but I prefer to buy fresh ones.
