Best Golden Chicken With Noodles From Birds Eye Recipes

GOLDEN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place chicken leg quarters on a work surface with the skin facing up. Make a cut into the thickest part of each drumstick, all the way down to the bone. Then make two cuts, about 1 inch apart, right in the center of each thigh. Season both sides generously with 2 teaspoons kosher salt.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear until skin is nicely browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and sear for 2 more minutes. Turn off the heat and remove chicken to a plate, leaving any rendered fat in the skillet.
• Turn the heat back on to medium; add onion, celery, jalapeño, and a pinch of salt to the skillet. Sauté until onion turns translucent and veggies have softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add cumin, paprika, coriander, turmeric, pepper, cayenne, cinnamon, and garlic; cook and stir until garlic has cooked a bit and spices are toasted, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in tomato paste, vinegar, water, and saffron. Increase heat to high and stir in currants and chicken base; bring to a simmer.
• Add chicken to the skillet, skin-side up, and reduce heat to low. Baste chicken with the liquid. Cover and cook over low or medium-low heat at a gentle simmer for 1 hour.
• Flip chicken, cover, and simmer gently until the meat is fork-tender and almost falling off the bone, about 30 more minutes.
• Flip and baste chicken again. Increase heat to medium and cook, uncovered, until chicken is very tender and the braising liquid has reduced a bit, 20 to 30 minutes more.
• Taste the braising liquid and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.

CROCK POT GOLDEN CHICKEN AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Place chicken in crock pot.
• Combine the soup, milk, onion, salt, basil and pepper and pour over chicken.
• Cover and cook on high for 1 hour.
• Reduce heat to low and continue to cook 5-6 hours longer or until the meat juices run clear.
• Serve over noodles.

GOLDEN NOODLES WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Make the fried shallots: In a small skillet, heat ¼-inch of oil until shimmering. Working in small batches, add a handful of shallots, and cook, turning frequently, until golden, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer fried shallots to a paper towel lined plate.
• Make the soup: In a medium pot, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the chicken and brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the ginger, turmeric, and cumin. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Pour the broth into the pot and return the chicken. Bring to a boil and then reduce to medium-low. Cover and gently simmer until the chicken breasts are just cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off heat. Using tongs or a slotted spoon remove the chicken breast to a plate and let cool slightly. Discard skin and bones and shred chicken meat. Keep warm.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rice noodles or thin spaghetti and cook until al dente per package instructions. Drain.
• Add noodles to broth and serve brothy noodles topped with pulled chicken, herbs, fried shallots, and black pepper.

SLOW-COOKER GOLDEN CHICKEN PASTA

Steps:

• Turn a slow cooker to low and coat it with cooking spray.
• Heat the oil and butter in a saute pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and garlic. Increase the heat, cooking them until all the liquid is evaporated and the mushrooms are browned, working in batches if necessary. Add the vegetable broth and cook until the liquid is somewhat reduced. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Place the chicken, mushroom soup, cream cheese, dressing mix, black pepper and the mushroom mixture in the slow cooker and stir lightly to disperse the ingredients. Cover and cook all day, about 8 hours.
• Just before serving: Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
• Serve the chicken with the pasta and garnish with the Parmesan and parsley.
