Chicken and Noodles

by 1 Comment

Happy Monday!

Jay has his boss in town this week and then he'll be away for the second half of the week and I have 3 assignments due in class tonight and an exam on Wednesday so....

I made us comfort food.  YES. I. DID.  It was a necessity.  We had a great weekend, but a BUSY one, so when I had a few minutes I made a big pot of these noodles with chicken so we'd have it all week for lunches and dinners when we aren't together.Plate of food

It's basically like chicken noodle soup with gravy instead of soup.  I KNOW.  You're welcome.  We love it, and I hop you will too!  I got the idea from this recipe from Ree, who you know I love, and I made it different based on 1. not looking at the real recipe and 2. being in a hurry.  Try this one soon - it's a perfect eat-out-of-the-pot-for-several-days dish.

  • Have random bread bits in your freezer at all time
  • Hate good photography (I was in a hurry, sorry)
It's also good for you if you like delicious buttery, lemony toast for a fun twist on a regular cheese plate - you'll love this!

Try this soon - you'll love it!
