Found: One Chicken Casserole Recipe

Yes, along with at least three other chicken casseroles. (This post is completely intertwined with yesterday's so if you find yourself wondering what's going on here, besides not much, that explains it.) Several recipes have been printed out multiple times. I think I could be much more organized if and when I get this book together. Someone asked if I have these on the computer and the answer is yes, in triplicate. I don't have a laptop, though, so don't much thrill to running up and down the hall to look for the next ingredient or to print it off again. Some fine day, I'm certain that I will may get it all together.

Anyway, since you asked, and you won't be disappointed, and IF you make this one I really, really do want to hear about it, here ya go.

Vee's Creamy Chicken Casserole for Four

Ingredients:

* 2 cups dry whole wheat noodles. (We prefer Heartland Rotini, but you use what you like.)

* 1 can cream of chicken soup (mushroom in a pinch)

* ½ cup milk (we use skim)

* 1 cup grated cheese (we like cheddar)

* ½ tsp poultry seasoning

* ¼ cup mayonnaise

* ¼ cup plain yogurt

* One cooked chicken breast cut into small chunks or a 12.5 oz can of chunk white chicken rinsed and drained well (we don't need all that salt)

Method:

* Heat oven to 350°

* Boil noodles of choice until done and drain

* Add milk, yogurt, and mayonnaise to the soup and heat until it just begins to bubble

* Add seasonings (you can play around here...we've settled on the poultry seasoning as our favorite)

* Stir in half of the cheese until melted

* Add the noodles and cooked chicken and stir to coat completely

* Spoon into a casserole serving dish suitable for four servings

* Sprinkle with remaining cheese

* Bake in a 350° oven for 30 minutes.

Serve with a vegetable or salad and enjoy!

You'll find that this recipe is a wonderful one to tweak. It can easily be doubled or even tripled, but since we are watching our portions around here and there are only two of us, I usually stick to the smaller recipe. This or that can be substituted. Please let me know what you come up with if you give it a try.

For dessert, I made a delicious Peach Dump Cake. It's another recipe that's fun to tweak. I substituted a can of Comstock cherry pie filling because I didn't have two cans of peaches. It's a peachy cherry delight...hmmmmm. Whaddya mean that we're on some diet? :>

Enjoy your weekend, Dear Ones!
