Crockpot Santa Fe Chicken.
Welcome to my series where I make easy meals for my son to store his freezer in college.
Episode 2 is this Santa Fe Chicken. It is a delicious meal that he could just take out of the freezer and throw in his crockpot.
I like to serve it with some rice and even some sliced avocado. A super simple, easy and healthy meal.

Welcome to episode one of meals that I make for my son that he can keep in the freezer when he’s at college. First up is my Bolognese sauce. I make the sauce and I freeze it in one cup portions. I use soup cubes that I get on Amazon. I put everything in the freezer bag for him and the he could take it out whenever he needs.
I’m also sending him to school with a bunch of the pasta from my pasta line. He loves the rigatoni and the penne. My pasta is made in Pienza, Italy with the very highest quality wheat that you could possibly get. It is bronze cut and slow dried making it easier for digestion. So you won’t get bloated.
The pasta is available on my website www.miciamammas.com

Growing up, I spent a lot of time in the kitchen with my grandpa as his “sous” chef. He taught me so much about cooking. He had a passion for it and he passed it on to me.

Panzanella is a dish that he often made in the summer. My grandparents never threw out leftover bread. They hated to waste. If worse came to worse, they would even feed it to the birds.

This salad puts that day-old bread to good use. Quality is key in a simple salad like this. A good extra virgin olive oil is a must. And make sure your tomatoes are ripe.

Ingredients
(Serves 4)
2 oz. Day Old Italian Bread, Torn in 3/4” pieces (about 2 Cups)
2 Celery Stalks, sliced thinly
1 (6 oz.) Cucumber, sliced thinly
2 (7 oz.) Carrots, sliced thinly
¼ Red Onion (about 4 Ounces), sliced thinly
1 (6 oz.) Large Heirloom Tomatoes, cut in ¾” Pieces
½ Cup Cherry Tomatoes, I used yellow. Cut in half
½ Cup Pitted Kalamata Olives
10 Basil Leaves, Chopped
1 Tsp. Salt
½ tsp. Pepper
4 tbsp. Red Wine Vinegar
½ Cup Olive Oil

Method
Soak the red onion in ice water for 15 minutes. Remove and pat dry.
In a bowl, add in the bread, celery, cucumber, carrots, red onion, tomatoes, olives, and basil.
Season with salt and pepper. Add in the red wine vinegar and olive oil.
Mix and taste for seasoning and serve.

This Creamy (NO MAYO) Grinder Pasta Salad is my all time favorite and is perfect for a cookout. The flavors are incredible here and I love the creaminess of the dressing without using mayo.
I achieve the creaminess by combining pesto and ricotta along with other ingredients that truly makes this dressing special.

This salad is a great make ahead recipe. So if you are having a big party you can make this the day before. LOVE THAT!!

For this recipe I use the fusilli pasta from my pasta line. My pasta is crafted from nutrient-rich organic durum wheat, packed with fiber and essential ingredients that promote easier digestion. Sourced from the stunning Mulino Organic Farm in the heart of Tuscany, our wheat is stone-milled for the highest quality.
The pasta is available on my website www.miciamammas.com

If you can’t find the friggitelli peppers you can use cubanelle.

The best potato side dish and my all time favorite are these easy Crispy Roasted Potatoes ENCRUSTED with Italian Style Bread Crumbs.

Here the one thing that is key are the seasoned bread crumbs. I make my own version of Italian Style Bread Crumbs and they are amazing. For me they are a kitchen staple that I make in large batches, store in the freezer and keep to use whenever I need.

The possibilities for these homemade bread crumbs are endless. Not only can you use them to make chicken cutlets but you can make shrimp oreganata and baked clams. Endless possibilities.
If you don’t want to make these, you can use store bought. But add some grated Pecorino to them for added flavor.

The recipe is in my cookbook. My cookbook is available on my website www.miciamammas.com or click the link in my bio!

INGREDIENTS
Crispy Roasted Potatoes with Bread Crumbs.
(Serves 4)
1 ½ lbs. Potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
⅓ Cup Olive Oil, PLUS MORE FOR PAN
⅔ Cup Italian Style Bread Crumbs

Method
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Put the potatoes in a small bowl and coat with ⅓ cup of olive oil. Sprinkle in the bread crumbs coating each potato in the crumbs.

Coat the bottom of a baking dish with olive oil. Add in the potatoes. Drizzle on some more olive oil and bake for about thirty minutes until the potatoes are cooked thru and crusty.

Homemade Italian Style Bread Crumbs:
6 Cups Plain Bread Crumbs
15 Garlic Cloves - Chopped
2 Cups Grated Pecorino Romano
½ Cup Parsley - Chopped
2 tsp. Salt
2 Tsp. Pepper

In a large airtight container combine all the ingredients. The chopped garlic tends to stick together a little, so be sure the ingredients are all combined well. Sometimes I use my hands to combine. Store in the freezer in a freezer bag for up to 4 months and use when needed.

This Pasta with Zucchini and Grape Tomatoes is topped with toasted bread crumbs and is so delicious you will want to eat the whole thing. If you have never tried toasted bread crumbs on your pasta you NEED to. It is a step you can leave out of this dish, because the zucchini and tomatoes are delicious on their own. But trust me when I say, you should try the bread crumbs. The textural contrast of the pasta cooked to a perfect al dente with the delicious sauteed zucchini and bread crumb topping, is just an incredible combination.
For this recipe I used the rigatoni from my very own pasta line. This pasta (made in Pienza, Italy) is crafted from nutrient-rich organic durum wheat, packed with fiber and essential ingredients that promote easier digestion. It is bronze die cut and slow dried, and is also lower in calories and carbs, while being higher in protein compared to other commercial brands! The taste is amazing as well.
My pasta is available on my website along with a printable version of this recipe www.miciamammas.com
