I think I have a new favorite for Lunch at least, if not a quick dinner meal. Cyril wanted corn dogs, and I must confess I wanted one too, since I only had the unapproved, non-gluten free corn dogs, he got 1 and I got none. lol. So I was a good girl and cooked up a chicken breast, which is Feingold Approved, Gluten Free AND Weight Watchers friendly. Can't get any better then that now can I?
The chicken is thru Schwan's called Live Smart Chicken Breast. It's about 13.99 a bag BUT before you have a heart attack about the price, it's the only chicken breast that I know of that uses water instead of broth AND when you cook it up, it doesn't shrink to 1/2 it's size. You most certainly get what you pay for. I also cooked up the last of the Oreda Tater Tots. They are gluten free, but alas are NOT Feingold Approved so after today, we must bid good-bye to our family favorite tater tot. Now I'm on the hunt for a good tater tot, that's both GF and Feingold Approved.

Chicken Noodle Soup
It's not surprising that we needed to make this soup. With 3 kids in school, there's bound to be some germs brought into our home. So I made this soup to boost the family's immune system. No one really wanted to eat what I made, but I ran some over to my mother because she wasn't feeling well. She enjoyed it.
Chicken Noodle Soup
by Carol Fenster
1 teaspoon of canola oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
1/2 cup of chopped onion
6 cups of gluten free low-sodium chicken broth (ie. Swanson Natural Goodness, Progressive)
1 small carrot thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning ( I didn't use this seasoning this time)
1/4 teaspoon table salt (we use sea salt)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper (I use black pepper)
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 bay leaf (didn't use that this time)
1 cup uncooked gluten-free noodles (or past shape of choice ie: Heartland's Finest Ingredients, Debole's, Pastariso, Scharr)
1 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken
1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons of dried parsley
* 2 teaspoons of garlic (for the extra boost to the immune system)
1. Heat oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the celery and onion. Cook 3-4 minutes until soft and slightly browned. Add the chicken broth, carrot, poultry seasoning, salt,white pepper,nutmeg and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cook covered 10-15 minutes.
2. Add the noodles and chicken. Simmer until chicken is heated through and noodles are done. Stir in the lemon juice. Serve immediately, garnish each serving with a sprinkle of parsley (optional).
