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...

 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.

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned.  We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
