Katie’s comment about converting recipes from canned broth to homemade reminded me that I just tried a new recipe last week that uses broth. (It reminded me, because I didn’t know how much was in a can of broth and underestimated. Our meal was a little dry, but with the right amount of broth, it should be good. It tasted good. 🙂 )
25-Minute Chicken and Noodles
25 Minute Chicken & Noodles
Ingredients
- 2 c. chicken broth 1-1/2 is not enough! lol
- 1/2 tsp. dried basil
- 2 c. vegetable combination - carrots broccoli, cauliflower (I used the last of a bag of broccoli and cauliflower florets, and more of the frozen chopped carrots I mentioned in my last post.)
- 2 c. uncooked whole wheat pasta If you're using a large pasta like rotelle, I suggest using a little more, as it fills up the measuring cup faster.
- 2 c. cooked cubed chicken I used the shredded chicken I had in the freezer.
- 1/8 tsp. pepper
Instructions
- In medium skillet, mix broth basil, pepper, and vegetables. Over medium-high heat, heat to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook for 5 minutes. stir in uncooked noodles. Cover and cook for 5 more minutes or until the noodles are cooked. Add chicken and heat through.
- Says it serves four, but I think that's squeezing it a bit. I would say three, I think, although using a smaller pasta, or a little more of the larger pasta, may help with that.
I’m linking this recipe up to the October Fest broth carnival, too.
That recipe sounds really tasty. I was thinking of chicken noodle soup for tonight, but maybe I’ll try this instead.
As for the veggie broth — you don’t need mushrooms. We just love ’em so they go in just about everything 🙂
Thanks!
We thought this recipe was pretty good. (I adapted it from one I found online a long time ago, but I’m not sure where I found it.)
I freeze my chicken in 2 c. portions, so I’m always looking for meals to use it in! This sounds so easy, bookmarking it for sure.
Thank you for joining the first October Fest Carnival of Super Foods! Next week’s theme is Super Foods (which include basic things like garlic, onions, and apples). Hope to see you back!
