Chick Pea Burgers

I found this one online. To be honest, I haven't tried them yet! I made them Sunday morning and am very much looking forward to dinner tonight! I did taste the "raw" pattie and found it to be slightly spicy. Not bold, just flavorful.

I'll post the recipe later, but here are the main ingredients:

Chick peas, white onion, broccoli, BBQ sauce (I made my own), carrot, honey, grated cheese, whole wheat flour, paprika, salt. I may have missed a couple of things here...

Chicken Noodle Soup

Ok, so where's the chicken??? It's there, I pormise, hiding underneath all the noodles. My hubby loves the noodles, so they sometimes overtake the chicken :)

Easy-Peasey Recipe

2 Boneless-Skinless Chicken Breasts cut into 1" pieces
1 Carrot - cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/4 of a White Onion - chopped
1 Celery Stalk - cut into 1/2 inch pieces
Bay leaf
2 C Uncooked Wide Egg Noodles
2 T Olive Oil
Salt & pepper

Saute chicken in olive oil in a large dutch oven 5-6 minutes or until lightly browned
Remove chicken from pan and set aside on paper towels
Add chopped onion, celery and carrots to dutch oven and cook until tender-crisp, salt and pepper to taste
Add chicken back to pan, add 2 cups chicken broth
Add bay leaf and egg noodles
Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 8-10 minutes. Noodles should be nearly cooked through but slightly firm.
Remove pan from heat. Let cool completely. Remove bay leaf. Refrigerate.

Note: You could very easily make this vegetarian using Quorn Chick'n Breasts and Vegetable broth instead of Chicken broth. Just thaw the chick'n breasts before using and brown them for a minute or two for some color. Add them AFTER bringing the noodles to a boil and reducing the temperature.
