My version of Chicken & Noodles

This has become my new comfort food, and it's easy to prepare and tasty. It does take in to account cheating a little, going to the store and buying a whole rotisserie chicken, having homemade stock/broth on hand, and having the wife make mashed taters.

Yield: 8 Servings

      1 ea Whole rotisserie chicken, shredded (save the bones for broth!)
      8 c  Chicken broth, give or take if you like it soupy or not
      4 ea Ribs of celery, chopped
      4 ea Carrots, chopped
      1 ea Can of cream of chicken soup
      1 TB Garlic, chopped
      1 TB Mexican Oregano
      2 ts Seasoning salt (I use Johnny's)
      1 ts Ground pepper
     16 oz Frozen noodles

In a crock pot, cook carrots, celery and garlic in the broth for about 2 hours. Shred the chicken & add it and the canned soup and spices and stir occasionally. About two hours before serving, add the frozen noodles, stirring occasionally. Serve in bowls over mashed taters, I like having Johnny's Seasoning salt on hand.

Last time I added a few things, about a TB worth of thinly sliced mild red pepper and the same of sun dried tomatoes, for a little flavor and color.

My version of chicken fajita wraps

Shocked myself at seeing I've not posted approaching a year! I'm going to forget some of the stuff I've come up with, that's for sure. No pics on this one, kinda forgot before we gobbled it. It was deemed tasty though!

• 2 chicken quarters (thigh/drumstick)
• 1 medium mild green pepper sliced
• 1 medium mild red pepper sliced
• 1 small onion sliced

Throw that all in a cast iron pan or glass dish and get it in the oven at 350. Then start making the sauce:

• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1/3 cup water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
• 1 TB your favorite taco or chili seasoning ( I use Spanish Gardens Taco Seasoning)

Pour about half of it over the chicken & veggies and keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn. I cooked my chicken for roughly an hour. When the chicken is done, take it out and pick off the meat. Put the rest of the sauce in the pan and let it go while you pick so it warms up. Wrap up in flour tortillas with sour cream and taco sauce and enjoy! Super easy and not many ingredients!
