Chicken & Noodles With Mashed Potatoes

Chicken & Noodles with Mashed Potatoes

Chicken & Noodles:
1 whole rotisserie chicken
1 container chicken stock
1 package noodles (I use No Yolk Broad noodles)
salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste
water

Remove the chicken from the skin and bones and shred it with your fingers. Add the chicken and the stock to a large soup pot. Add water...the amount is going to depend on how much stock you're using and how "soupy" you want your noodles. I usually use just enough liquid for the noodles to boil in without getting mushy. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Once the liquid is boiling, add the noodles and cook until tender. Serve over mashed potatoes!

Mashed Potatoes:
I have always peeled and chopped potatoes to make mine. But this last time I used the new potatoes that you steam in a bag in the microwave and they turned out really good!! You just put them in the microwave in their bag for 10 minutes, take them out and mash them with milk and butter. (SOMETIMES I use cream and butter...they're sooo good!! But so bad for you which is why I only do this sometimes...usually only for Thanksgiving! hehe)

Seriously...try this. You'll wonder where it's been your whole life. Especially during those cold Montana winters! :)

My whole family grew up eating noodles over mashed potatoes, and now it's one of my husband's favorite meals. The mexican lasagna looks delicious, but I NEED measurements!! I still may have to try it and put my type A kitchen self aside! My mom cooks like that also, and I can never get an accurate recipe from her. I think all the GOOD cooks do that. sigh. Measurements, how I love you!

Cindy, you are so right!! Sadly, I have no clue how to make them and from what I remember watching my Mom make them, I don't have the time or the patience either. LOL

I'm with you on that one. I let my Mom make them and then ask her to share with me! :-) I guess cause I live so far away from her, she feels sorry for me and always shares.
