Herb Crusted Baked Chicken w/ Mushroom Sauce

















Tips for this Meal:

  1. You can season the chicken with any Italian seasoning you'd like. We prefer Rosemary or an Italian Season mix that you can buy at your local grocery store.
  2. Bread crumbs are optional if you are watching the carbs but they definitely add to dish.
  3. Serve this chicken over white rice with the mushroom sauce on top. You could also cut the chicken up after done baking and serve over some kind of pasta.
  4. If you like a crunchy crisp crust, turn the oven to broil a couple minutes before the chicken is done baking and brown the top to your desired crispiness.

Wesson's Pork Spinach Alfredo

The first dish that was created in the Poor Boy's home was soon to be called Wesson's Pork Spinach Alfredo. It sounds like a fancy dish you might find at the Olive Garden, but it is simple enough for anyone to cook in their home and only costs around $10 to feed four healthy people. Of course you may want to have something to serve along with this meal, but again this is the Poor Boy's cookbook, so we are trying to save you some money. However Wesson's Cheese Bread(coming later) and a nice salad would go along terrific with this dish. If you wanna impress the lady with a home cooked Italian meal...this one's for you! (Prep Time: 40 minutes)

Tips for this dish:
  1. Cheese, Cheese, Cheese. Gotta have the Moz. and Parm. cheeses.
  2. Alfredo Sauce- to save money and time just pick up 2 jars of your favorite Alfredo sauce from the store.
  3. Drain, Drain, Drain. You have to drain the Spinach very well. Otherwise it will overpower you sauce and it will taste like the green goo it looks like.
  4. Don't over cook Pork. You can begin step 2 when pork is 3/4 done.
  5. Don't overcook Mushrooms. Add mushrooms when onions are 1/2 done.
