Chicken ala Something ‘Cliffipe’

• If chicken isn’t thawed, now would be a good time to start
• Use cold running water to thaw, hot water only gives you funky chicken
• Plan ahead next time
• Never mind, if you had planned ahead, you wouldn’t be reading this
• Look in pantry.  See anything good? Use it
• Chicken is like blue jeans-it goes with almost anything
• Mushrooms, olives, vegetables, mac & cheese-everybody’s a candidate
• Pick a noodle.  Any noodle.
• Spaghetti, fettuccine, linguine, penne-you get the idea
• If using rice instead of noodles, you’re gonna need more sauce
• Use soy, teriyaki, white wine, sherry, and water, if your in a pinch
• Saute chicken with liquid.  When it’s kinda brown, throw in the solids
• When solids get kinda mushy, it’s done
• You did start the rice/noodles, didn’t you?
• Set foundation with rice or noodles
• Spoon chicken (insert ingredients here) on top
• The fussier the kid, the more juice you’ll need
• If all of your kids are fussy, add bread as a side dish
• Name your creation. IMPORTANT! Do this last-you never know what’s going to end up in there
