Welcome to June!

Our first Blue Ribbon winner is Debbie F. for her Creamy Herbed Chicken & Noodles. This recipe was tested by catlover, who now has her Recipe Tester icon.

Congrats to both of you!

DebbieF's Creamy Herbed Chicken and Noodles was great! We enjoyed the dish a lot and it had a very tasty flavor! I subbed chicken breast for the chicken thighs because DH can't eat the dark meat, for the white wine I used Rheinhessen 2001 Liebfraumilch and I subbed fat free evaporated milk for the heavy whipping cream because DH can't have the heavy whipping cream.

Her instructions were very easy to follow. I thought it made a dish that would work well for a nice company meal because by using the crockpot it leaves plenty of time to tend to other things ansd looked like you spent a lot of time in the kitchen!

Here is DebbieF's original recipe:

Originally posted in What’s for Dinner, February 2007 by: Debbie F.
Creamy Herbed Chicken & Noodles

5-6 carrots, cut into 1 1/2" chunks
1/2 cup sliced celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 potatoes, cut into 1 1/2" pieces
1 cup frozen peas
3/4 tsp dried thyme leaves
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 1/2# boneless/skinless chicken thighs
1 can (14 oz) chicken broth
3/4 cup white wine (optional)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
3 TBS flour
8 oz. extra large egg noodles

Spray 5-6 quart crockpot with non-stick spray. Put in carrots, celery, onion, potatoes & peas. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp thyme, garlic salt & pepper over the vegetables.

Place chicken over vegetables. Pour wine and chicken broth over chicken. Cover and cook on low 7 hours, til chicken juices are clear.

Remove the chicken and vegetables from crockpot using a slotted spoon. Cover & keep warm.

Increase crockpot temperature to high. Mix whipping cream, flour and remaining 1/4 tsp thyme leaves; stir into liquid in crockpot. Cover and cook on high about 10-15 mins.

Meanwhile, cook egg noodles according to package directions and drain.

Serve chicken and vegetables over the noodles, topped with the cream sauce.

I served this in bowls, just to let the noodles be able to absorb more of the cream sauce.

This week's Recipe Tester was Valerie (Lifestar) and she has earned her icon!

Unfortunately, the recipe that she tested did not quite pan out the way she had hoped. She gave it her all and tried it three times, substituting ingredients along the way.

PLEASE DO NOT ask Valerie to reveal the recipe as we do not want any hurt feelings on the boards.

2nd Chances
However, if you did sign up as a Recipe Tester, you do have the opportunity to earn an additional icon if you would also like to test the failed recipe. The recipe is seafood so keep that in mind when responding. If this interests you let me know. We will allow for a recipe to be tested twice before removing it from the boards.

Let me know if this interests anyone.

Thanks!

Sorry I'm a little late in posting this but you may have noticed in the newsletter that Sharona was our recipe tester and she awarded a Blue Ribbon to Bunny for her Chili Cranberry Chicken recipe! Congrats to both of you for earning your awards!
