KELLY'S TLC CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Rinse chicken with cold water inside and out, and be sure to remove any "innards". (I discard the innards, but if you like them, save them for another use.).
• Place whole chicken in large pot. Add water to cover the bird plus an inch.
• Add bay leaves.
• Bring to a boil, skim off the "foamy stuff" with a large spoon, reduce heat, cover and simmer for about an hour and 30 minutes.
• You may need to CAREFULLY turn your chicken over halfway through if it wants to stick up a bit.
• CAREFULLY remove chicken from pot onto a platter, cover loosely with foil til cool enough to handle. *Remember there will be very hot water inside the cavity of the chicken. So please do this carefully, dumping that out into the pot as you remove it, so you don't burn yourself! *Also give the pot a stir. The chicken will be VERY tender when done, and a wing or leg may fall to the bottom. Be sure to get that!
• Remove 5 cups stock from pot into heat-proof pitcher or pan. Save rest of chicken stock for another use.
• Pour the 5 cups stock back into the pot.
• While chicken is cooling, add rest of ingredients EXCEPT noodles.
• Bring to a boil and then reduce to a nice simmer and cook veggies about 4-5 minutes.
• Now add the noodles. Stir.
• Return to a boil to get it going again, then reduce to a nice simmer and continue to simmer til noodles are just about tender. About another 4-5 minutes.
• While veggies and noodles are simmering away, remove meat from chicken and add as you go. (Don't add the skin or fat, of course, just the meat.).
• Now just continue to simmer, another 2-3 minutes til noodles are tender. Take one out and try it is the only way to know! :).
• *Also, don't stir this very much! You'll just break up the noodles.
• *If using 4 chicken breasts instead, bring chicken breasts to a boil in pot, reduce to simmer, and simmer only 20 minutes.
• Serve with saltine crackers if desired.
• Makes about 3-4 quarts. But don't worry. Sounds like a lot, but the 2 of us go through this easily within only 3 days!
• *Note: I use "Superior Touch Better Than Boullion Chicken Base". And it is really good!But any good quality chicken base will work well. *It comes in a jar next to the boullion. ;).
• And one last thing (I promise!), if you need to add more of the broth that you stewed the chicken in, (if your chicken is large, or you added too many noodles, etc.) just nuke 1-2 cups broth with 1-2 teaspoons of the boullion/chicken base til dissolved, then add to pot. Simmer just a few minutes longer. HTH! :D.

SHEET PAN CHICKEN TERIYAKI AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and grease with nonstick cooking spray.
• Cut the chicken and bell pepper into 1-inch strips. Thinly slice the carrots lengthwise, then cut into 1-inch batons. Cut the broccoli into small florets.
• Transfer the chicken strips to a medium bowl, add the teriyaki sauce and a pinch each of salt and pepper and toss to combine.
• Combine the peppers, carrots, broccoli and sugar snap peas in a large bowl. Add the olive oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper and toss well to combine. Arrange the chicken and vegetables on the prepared baking sheet, spreading them into an even layer with as little overlap as possible.
• Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Divide the chicken and vegetables among serving plates. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve alongside rice or noodles, if desired.
• Whisk together the soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sugar has completely dissolved.
• Whisk together the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Whisk the slurry into the sauce and simmer until it has thickened to the consistency of syrup, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, pour into a small heatproof bowl and let cool. Use right away or refrigerate for up to 3 days.

SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a 6-quart slow cooker.
• Add the onion, pepper, garlic, both beans, tomato sauce, tomato paste, cocoa powder, cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, oregano, and chili powder to the slow cooker. Stir together, then add the chicken broth. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.

KELLY'S ASIAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oil in large, heavy skillet and brown chicken well on all sides, adding garlic and peppers toward the end.
• Add remaining ingredients and cook over medium-high heat until chicken is done and sauce has been reduced somewhat. This will not take long, less than 10 minutes.
• If you are cooking both white and dark meat, remove white meat first, so it does not dry out.
• Watch very carefully so the sauce does not burn or boil away. There should be a quantity of sauce left to serve with the chicken, and the chicken should appear slightly glazed.
• Serve with Chinese noodles, pasta, or rice.
