I am southern. Okay I confess I wasn't born in the south and every time I go to school I tend to go somewhere ungodly cold but at heart I am southern and I always come back here. I really like southern food but for the most part I don't cook it, it's probably a combination of 1) not knowing any recipes, 2) being too embarrassed to buy THAT much butter, and 3) worrying that I will start qualifying for the biggest loser if I eat too much. Well I found this recipe, and it only requires 2 tablespoons of butter! You will need a slow cooker.
Recipe: (makes enough for probably 6 people)
- Add to Slow cooker: 4 chicken breasts (the best is if they are slightly frozen), 2 tablespoons butter, 2 10.75 oz cans of cream of chicken soup (do low sodium or it really starts to add up) and 1/2 an onion chopped finely. Fill the slow cooker with low sodium chicken broth until chicken is completely submerged. Cook for 4-6 hours on low until the chicken pulls apart (like BBQ pulled chicken).
- Pull the Chicken apart and add 2 rolls of refrigerated biscuit dough (cut each biscuit into 3 parts and squish them thin so the "noodles" aren't too thick) Cook for 1 more hour on low. Make sure you push down the biscuits a few times so that they get fully cooked.
Review:
This is a great comfort food, like a heartier chicken noodle soup. The biscuits really do turn into the consistency of noodles. I didn't use low sodium anything and it was a mistake (granted I am really sensitive to the taste of salt), if it wasn't for that however I would have LOVED this recipe. I will be making this again for sure. It took awhile to make but nothing about it was hard to do and if you are home anyway it really wasn't a big deal.
