Chicken on its last leg?...actually it was a couple of breasts lol! I found I had some chicken that needed to be dealt with in the freezer. I boiled the breasts and cut into chunks the day before yesterday. So once again it was looking grim for the chicken today since my husband planned to make his yummy manacotti. I wasn't about to turn the chance down for a cooking day off for a little chicken! So since it was use it or toss it time I decided to try a new recipe. Ashlynn helped me throw together a meal for tomorrow and save the chicken from the trash. Hopefully, it turns out well but if not I only have my own procrastination to blame!
Creamy Chicken a.k.a. Chicken Saver
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. parm. cheese
1/2 tsp. pepper
Whatever veggies you have on hand. (I had frozen corn and I cut in a few carrots)
Pinch of salt
1 pound of chicken
Your choice of noodles. (We will be using 1/2 a box of penne)
Brown chicken and cut into pieces. Cook the pasta as directed on the package and set aside. Add soup, milk, cheese, pepper & veggies to your chicken and heat in skillet until hot. Add pasta to chicken mixture and stir. Plate and top with a sprinkling of parm. cheese.
If you are freezing the meal like I am then I would not worry about the pasta. Leave it in the box until you are going to make the meal. If you add them and then freeze you will end up with squishy mushy noodles.
