and then the twins, Bethany and Gideon.
Bek is one of my younger sisters. We have a brother between the two of us. She was my first and longest roomie, though Mr. Hippie is catching up. One of my fondest memories of her is having to pull a knitting needle out of her butt cheek when she was about 12. Long story, and very funny-now.
Being on bed rest with these two cuties gave me a lot of time to look for new recipes. My Pinterest recipe board is full of recipes to try, and the one I am sharing today came from there. Since the twins were born I have made several new recipes. All were delicious, and all were added to my recipe box as they passed the hubs taste test. If you were to flip through my recipe box, you would see several recipes that start with the word SPICY. I love me some spicy food! Today I am sharing one of our new favorites that can be tweaked to fit your tolerance of spice. It requires very little time to prepare if you plan ahead.
SPICY ROMANO CHICKEN
Sauce:
1 pint heavy cream
4 T. butter
2 tsp. salt
1/2 T. black pepper
1/2 c. grated Romano/Parmesan cheese blend
1/4-1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper (this is where you can add or remove hotness)
Ingredients:
12 oz. bow tie, cooked
2 T. butter
1/2 c. mushrooms, sliced
1/4 c. green onions, sliced
3-4 chicken breasts, cooked and sliced in 1" strips
1/8 c. sun dried tomatoes, chopped (optional)
1 oz. heavy cream
-Melt butter in a large skillet. Add cream, salt & pepper and heat to a boil. Remove from heat and fold in Romano/Parmesan cheese and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
-In another large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add mushrooms, green onions and tomatoes. Stir for 1 minute. Add chicken and 1 oz. of heavy cream and stir well. Add pasta and all the sauce to the skillet and stir gently until mixed well.
-I served this with a lettuce salad and French bread. You can also sprinkle extra Romano/Parm on top of the pasta if desired.
I hope you find it as delicious as we did!

*Btw, I will be taking Monday off...no post. I will be enjoying time with Mr. Hippie and my kids-road trippin'. See you on Tuesday!
Bek (aka, Rebekah) writes a blog, A Little Bit of This and That, where she shares pictures of her life, and recipes. Head over there and show her some love. I asked her to write a guest post for me, to make my trip preparation week a bit lighter. Take it away, Bek....
