Zesty Chicken Noodle

Zesty Chicken Noodle

 

 

 

I get frustrated when it comes to quick and easy recipies. The recipee calls says 15 minutes for the prep and 30 minutes to cook. You know what I mean, it gets frustrating. You get going on the recipee and the baby starts crying, the phone rings, someone is knocking at the door. All kinds of interuptions are bound to happen. Your prep time goes from 15 minutes to 40 minutes.

 

Another thing is they may be more on a caffeine high than what I am. I dislike it when it states the time. However, there is one good thing about the time. I know it has to be some what quick if it states 15 minutes. So instead of trying to time myself to their schedule...I work at my own pace.

 

Such was the case in this recipe. It was a challenge to come up with two original recipies in which we came up with. My only regret is that I didn't have a camera to take a picture of it. But the ones that I cooked it for came up for seconds, some for thirds, and one or two for fourths. So I figured I hit the jackpot.

 

One suggestion is that served it I made some mashed potatoes and spread it over the mashed potatoes with a tossed salad on the side. So here is a quick and easy chicken recipee and I welcome our comments and I hope you enjoy.
