APPEALING PARTNERS

  • Mixed greens salad
  • Garden vegetable soup

PRACTICAL TIPS

  • The main course calls for 4 cups cubed cooked chicken breasts. If you don’t have cooked chicken on hand, you’ll need to cook about 2 pounds of chicken in order to yield 4 cups.

  • If there is any extra turkey from Wednesday’s sandwiches or leftover pork from Monday’s supper, feel free to cube it and use it in place of the chicken in the pasta dish.

  • You’ll find cans of apricot nectar for the dessert wedges in the juice aisle of most supermarkets. Or you can replace it with orange juice.

  • Substitute a dollop of fat-free whipped topping for the dessert’s ice cream…or cut calories by enjoying the fruity sensation on its own.
