Chicken & Egg Noodle Dinner
1 family size fully cooked rotisserie chicken (WalMart: $7.99)
1 - 12oz. bag of extra wide egg noodles (Skinner: $1.28)
1 stick of butter, cut into tablespoons (Great Value: approx. $0.75)
1 bag frozen cut broccoli (Great Value: $1.25)
Garlic Salt (to taste)
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
Dried Parsley Flakes (for color)
Cook pasta until firm (approximately 7 mins), and strain.
While pasta is cooking, cook broccoli according to package instructions, and strain.
While pasta and broccoli are cooking, chop chicken into small pieces
If you only use the breast, you should be able to get at LEAST 2 cups.
When pasta is done and strained, add chopped chicken. While still hot, add 4 tbsp of butter. Add garlic salt to your liking.
To broccoli, add remaining butter, salt, and pepper to desired taste. Toss in with pasta and chicken (you can also wait til you dish the pasta and chicken and add the broccoli to the top, like I did!). Return to low heat and warm through. Sprinkle parsley flakes for color.
Now, this recipe is for at least a family of 4. Any less than that and you WILL have leftovers lol. We had 4 very hungry people tonight and there was actually a little left over! But boy it'll make a tasty lunch tomorrow :)
Other Options:
Replace broccoli with corn.
Replace garlic salt with lemon pepper (VERY TASTY option!)
Omit veggies altogether if you do not eat them.
Use fresh veggies, rather than frozen.
Try with rice instead of egg noodles!
Instead of using a precooked rotisserie chicken, bust out the chicken breasts and baking sheets and make it yourself! This way will also save $$, but it will add time.
