If you've every tried Macaroni Grill's Chicken Milano, you know just how good this recipe is. . . fabulous!  My kids and hubby gobbled up just about every bite last night, and my husband even raved about how good it was again when he ate up  the last few leftovers for lunch today.  (Which at our house is completely a sign of a winning recipe!) 😉
Several weeks ago IÂ found the Sundried Tomatoes (shown below) on sale at Publix and stocked up on quite a few because they make for some delicious recipes. Â While you may have to pay full price for these this week, I promise they are completely worth it. Â But, keep your eyes for a sale and stock up if you find them at a lower price!

This was my favorite thing to order on the Macaroni Grill menu! Yummy. I will give it a try.
Hi! Love your spin on the Milano recipe! I just wanted to let you know that I used to work as a cook at macaroni grill, and if you wanted to make it *just* like the restaurant version (if not, then totally ignore this), you could make a roasted garlic cream sauce and then add sauteed mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, sliced chicken and bowtie pasta! I like that your version is healthier. When I worked there, that was one of the most popular pasta dishes. Nice website you have here 🙂
