Chicken Lelani


Yes!  I know the picture is crooked!

I don't know why!
It's not crooked when I open it from my computer!

It's not crooked when I open it from my "editing" site!

I don't know WHY it's crooked on the blog!

We haven't eaten this yet -- I've made it for tonight's dinner --
but it's easy enough and it didn't seem repulsive when I was stirring it together!

One thing I know I like about this recipe, it will 1/2 or double easily!

I halved it for tonight -- I didn't want to mess with left-overs!

I have a ton of left-overs in the refrigerator right now and I don't want any more this week!

The recipe is the original, but you can figure the 1/2 or doubling -- you're smart that way!

Chicken Lelani

4 boneless chicken breasts, cooked
2 cans cream of celery soup
2 cups evaporated milk
2 cups minced celery
2 tsp. minced onion
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 cup blanched and silvered almonds
2 cups crunch Chinese chow mein noodles

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. 

Blend soup, milk, celery, onion, Worcestershire sauce, and 3/4 of the almond together.

Layer noodles and chicken alternately in a 2 qt. baking dish.  Pour sauce over each chicken layer.  Make a ring around the top of the casserole with the remainder of the almonds.

Bake for 45 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

**I didn't use the almonds, I didn't want to mess with them!  I also forgot to add the evaporated milk, even though I had the can sitting on the counter.  I'm guessing it just made the "sauce" less "saucy!"  Also, I didn't read the directions through -- and I dumped the chicken, soups, and veggies together and just layered noodles then chicken stuff, ending with noodles on the top!

I'm sure it'll be just fine!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice!

Creamy Poblano Chicken Dinner

Picture used from "My Recipes.com" My picture didn't look nearly as appetizing! We've been eating this since the late 90's. Oh man!  That sounds like we're really old! This is one of those fantastic Southern Living Recipes that looks really hard, sounds really gourmet-ish, and is so easy! Whenever the Mr. requests his birthday dinner, it's always this meal! He had his 43rd birthday yesterday! To go along with his new "older" age, we recently counted the number of doctors he has. Yes, doctors! Right now in life, it's not his social outlet to visit these physicians on a regular basis . .  .but none-the-less, he has a well-rounded network of doctors that can take care of any need of his, ranging from his head to his toes. What a treat it is to get older. But with getting older comes this meal! Serve this with a green salad and dessert and you'll be the hit of the party! Creamy Poblano Chi
