4. Remove and top with the sliced green onion and serve with lime wedges on

®
Toaster Oven Broiler. To make it yourself, use a 4- to 5- pound whole
chicken. First line the baking pan with aluminum foil. Then place the chicken on
the pan. Rub with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Squeeze ½ lemon over the entire
chicken and then stuff lemon into the cavity. Put into the Toaster Oven Broiler in
the lower position. Bake at 350°F on the Bake setting for about 45 minutes
(depending on the size of the chicken). The breast should register around 160°F
and the leg should be 170°F. Allow to fully cool before breaking down and
shredding the chicken.

Baked Rigatoni with Chicken Sausage,
Broccoli & Peppers
A quick, comforting dinner with tons of rich flavors. Any type of cut pasta will
work, but we like the rigatoni for its larger, hollow shape.
Makes six to eight servings
5 ounces broccoli florets
6 ounces cooked Italian chicken sausage, cut into ½-inch rounds
½ red bell pepper, sliced
½ medium onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
½ pound dried rigatoni pasta, cooked al dente according to
manufacturer’s instructions
¾ cup ricotta
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
¼ cup grated Parmesan
4 to 6 basil leaves, roughly torn
Nonstick cooking spray
1. Preheat the Toaster Oven Broiler to 400°F on the Bake setting. Line the
baking pan with aluminum foil.
2. Put the broccoli, sausage, pepper, onion and garlic on the prepared pan. Toss
with the oil and a pinch each of the salt and pepper. Roast in preheated oven
for about 15 minutes, or until sausage and vegetables have browned. Reduce
temperature to 350°F. Put the rack in the lower position.
3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the roasted sausage and vegetables with the
remaining ingredients, until well combined.
4. Lightly coat a two-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Add the
pasta mixture. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for
about 30 to 40 minutes, or until cheeses are hot and bubbling. If a browned
top is desired, uncover for the last 5 to 10 minutes.
