My new Favorite recipe... A chicken Avocado bake. Here we go...
Ingredients
* 1/4 cup butter, cubed
* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon each garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, marjoram and thyme
* 1-1/2 cups milk
* 1 cup half-and-half cream
* 8 ounces medium egg noodles, cooked and drained
* 3 medium ripe avocados, peeled and sliced
* 3 cups cubed cooked chicken
* 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
* In a large saucepan, melt butter; stir in flour and seasonings until smooth. Gradually add milk and cream. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. In a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish, layer half of the noodles, avocados, chicken, white sauce and cheese. Repeat layers. Cover and bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes. Uncover; bake 5 minutes longer or until bubbly.
If you buy pre-cooked cubed chicken, this recipe is put together fast. If you prefer to use fresh chicken breasts, make sure they are skinless and boneless. Also press out any grease from cooking your chicken.
*substitutions...for the white cream sauce, you may switch the milk and 1/2 & 1/2 for Evaporated milk.
*additions, the second time making this recipe, I added mushrooms for something extra. Just add in like the avocados.
What will you add?
Happy Cooking!!
