How do I rewarm a chicken and pasta dish in the oven?!
How do I rewarm a chicken and pasta dish in the oven?
Last night, we ordered two orders from our local italian restaurant - chicken stuffed with spinach and proscuitto rolled and covered in an alfredo sauce. A serving of garlic and butter seasoned pasta (spaghetti) accompanied each order.
We ended up not eating it, and would like to do so tonight - how would you suggest rewarming it?
We don't want to use a microwave - would prefer an oven and/or stove.
FYI, the chicken is a chicken breast cut into thirds - as there are two orders, there are two breasts each cut into thirds.
The container that it came in is a styrofoam container, so we'd need to transfer it to something else for the rewarming.
What temperature, how long, what kind of container(s), other suggestions?
Your help is appreciated - we're all ears!

YUM!
Glass bakeware would be best, with a lid or aluminum foil on it. Just a TEENY dab of water, to make sure it does not dry out. But DON'T drown it! Tiny splash of white wine would work as well.
350 for about 20 - 30 minutes should do it.
Any kind of oven-proof dish or casserole would be fine. I would keep the oven on a very low setting and check it often to make sure it wasn't getting overdone. Also, cover it with aluminum foil to trap the juices to keep it from getting dried out.
I would put it in a casserole dish and if it was dry probably put some butter or something on it to moisten it. Then put some aluminum foil over it and fold it down around the dish to keep the moisture in.
It would probably take 20 or 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Hi
Transfer them to an oven prrof dish and cook on 200 C/ Gas mark 6 for 5-8 minutes, then check and if not hot enough leave for another 3-4 minutes.
Use a double-boiler - you won't "cook" it more and you won't heat the whole place up using the oven
U can use this for pretty much all things u want to heat up in the oven...i think.Haha. Just take an oven proof container( tin tray or glass. Make sure its oven proof. Not all are) Put the food in and cover with the aluminium foil. Set the oven to about 100 degrees celcius( for things like bread or cakes) to 150 degrees celcius(for things like meat and stuff). Heat for about 10-15 minutes. Occasionally lift foil to stir or flip over food if must. Hope this helps..
