Chicken Caesar Pasta

I got this from my friend, Tami. It was on her family's recipe blog. Quick and easy and quite tasty! It makes an 8x8 dish. I also precooked the chicken to speed up the process.



1-2 chicken breasts, cut up and sauteed
8 oz pasta, cooked (I used rotini)

Stir into the following and put in casserole dish:
1/2 c. Caesar dressing
1/2 red pepper, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
1/3 c. chicken broth
1 cup grated mozzarella

Top with Caesar-style croutons and 1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until warmed through. Croutons brown quickly, so you might want to cover with foil or put croutons at bottom of casserole dish.

Citrus Mango Smoothie

This is the perfect thick smoothie for a hot summer's day.



4 mangoes peeled, pitted, and cut into chunks
1 fresh lime, juiced 
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/3 cup lemon yogurt
1/2 cup orange juice
15 ice cubes

Place ingredients in blender.  Blend until ice is pulverized.
