Chicken and Veggies and Noodles - Oh My!
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons lemon pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 14-12 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (you can choose your desired heat level. I use 1/2 t.)
- 10 chicken legs, skin on
- 6 ounces egg noodles
- 2 -4 tablespoons vegetable oil (start off with 2 T. , add more if needed)
- 1 12 cups carrots, shredded
- 12 cup parsnip, shredded
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 1 12 cups zucchini, shredded
- 12 cup purple cabbage, shredded (I found a bag of shredded purple cabbage near the bagged salads in the store)
- 12 cup low sodium chicken broth
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Get a large pot of water boiling for your noodles.
- Put the 2 T. vegetable oil into a large, oven-safe skillet (I prefer to use cast iron for this) and heat over medium-high heat, swirl skillet to coat it with the oil.
- While the skillet is heating, mix together the lemon pepper, dried rosemary and crushed red pepper.
- Set aside 3/4 t. of this spice mixture to use later.
- Sprinkle the chicken legs, both sides, with the rest of the spice mixture.
- Brown chicken until deep golden brown, about 5 minutes or so.
- Then flip chicken and brown the other side for an additional 5 minutes or until golden brown.
- Then place the skillet in the preheated oven to roast for 20- 25 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, put the noodles into the boiling water (I don't salt my water for this recipe) and cook according to the package directions.
- Now that your chicken is roasting and your noodles are boiling, you can prepare the veggies: Heat 2 T. vegetable oil in another large skillet on medium to medium-high heat.
- Add the shredded carrots and parsnips and remaining 3/4 t spice mixture and saute for a few minutes.
- Add the shredded zucchini, chopped onions and shredded purple cabbage and cook until tender, about 5 more minutes.
- Note: If your pan gets dry while you are adding the veggies, you may need to add a bit more oil.
- Drain noodles and stir them into the veggie mixture.
- Add the chicken broth and mix well.
- If your chicken is done, go ahead and add them into this noodle veggie mixture.
- (If you are still waiting for the chicken, keep the veggies and noodles on the lowest heat setting until the chicken is ready to add.
- ).
- Once the chicken is added, you can bring the whole skillet meal to the table.
- Enjoy!
