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...

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
