Easy Skillet Chicken and Noodles


I found a similar recipe online and then adapted it to ingredients I had on hand and it turned out to be a huge success!


Need:

2-3 cooked chicken breasts, cubed
1/2 of a 16 oz. package of egg noodles
Can of Cream of Chicken
1 bag frozen mixed veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots)
Salt and Pepper
Grated Cheddar Cheese

Instructions:

1. Cook Noodles as directed. While noodles are cooking heat soup in large skillet.
2. Add veggies into skillet with soup and cover, allow to cook until veggies are tender.
3. When noodles are done, stir into skillet with soup and veggies.
4. Add chicken, then sprinkle lightly with grated cheese and stir it in as you sprinkle.
5. Salt and pepper to taste and serve!

Note: You can use as little or as much cheese as you want, I use it lightly and then stir throughout so that it is not stringy from the cheese but has enough for some flavor.

Please let me know what you think!

Parmesean Crusted Halibut


My husband LOVES halibut, probably his favorite food. I tried many times to prepare it to his liking (and the rest of the families) and had little success until I found this recipe. He likes it and the kids like it so it is a keeper!

Need:

Enough Halibut (or any white fish) Fillets for your fam
1 tbs. olive oil
6 tbs. parmesean cheese
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tbs flour
1/2 tsp paprika
2 tbs milk
1 large egg
Lemons

Steps:
  1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees
  2. Coat dish with oil.
  3. Rinse and Dry Fish.
  4. Combine cheese, flour, salt, pepper, and paprika in a mixing bowl.
  5. Beat eggs and milk in a separate dish.
  6. Dip fish first in egg/milk mixture then coat with cheese mixture.
  7. Bake on 500 degrees for 15 minutes or until fish is soft and flaky.
  8. Sprinkle with juice from lemons before serving.
I like to serve this with rice pilaf and fruit. Makes for a nice light healthy meal.
