EASY SPICY CHICKEN CASSEROLE (THE SPICY IS OPTIONAL)

Steps:

• Cut chicken in 1 ½ inch cubes (this will help it to cook faster and get the seasonings throughout the whole piece of chicken).
• Boil chicken in a big covered pot of water seasoned with sea salt, garlic powder, oregano, rosemary, cayenne, cumin and bay leaves for approximately 1 hour. (Don't let boil too hard or your broth will evaporate too quickly).
• Have soups, veggies, green chilies and 1 cup shredded cheese pre-mixed in bowl; set aside.
• Once cooked, scoop chicken out of pot, add more water to broth and boil egg noodles in broth until soft.
• Drain pasta and return to pot.
• Add chicken and soup mixture to pot and stir.
• Pour into casserole dish and top with remaining cheese.
• Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes.
• Turn to broil for another 5-6 minutes checking every few minutes to make sure the cheese doesn't burn.
• Sprinkle top with crushed red pepper and cayenne if you want it spicier.
• I usually top half of the casserole with the red pepper and cayenne for those that want it spicier.
