Cooking Kids

Both my kids adore broccoli. Since it’s the staple vegetable on many restaurant kid’s menus, I’m assuming there are a handful of kids that also adore broccoli. Below is a simple recipe for a one dish broccoli and noodle supper that includes chicken. It’s fast, simple and sure to please.

Broccoli and Noodles:

2-3 chicken breasts, cut into pieces

2 small broccoli heads, cut up, stems removed

1 pkg. egg noodles

1/2 stick butter

1 c. grated parmesan

2-3 tbsp. seasoned salt

Olive oil

Heat oil in a pan and toss in chicken. Sprinkle chicken with seasoned salt and cook until done. While chicken is cooking, boil a large pot of water and toss in the egg noodles and broccoli together. Let cook approx. 8 min. and drain. Noodles should be done and broccoli tender but firm, not soggy. Mix broccoli and noodles with butter and cheese in a large bowl. Toss until butter melts and cheese is spread all over broccoli and noodles. Add chicken to the top and serve.
