It’s Foodie Friday! This is a great recipe that my Mom-In-Law has had in her family for a hundred years…give or take a year. It’s pronounced Hen-ett-E…I suppose that’s because they used a poor unlucky hen to make it!
It’s been a comfort food in The Husband’s family for as long as I’ve been around. They double the recipe and freeze it so it can be easily pulled out on a cold winter’s day when someone is under the weather. It freezes WELL. Really WELL! It seems to get better and better!
When I got my most favorite thing from Amazon…The Pioneer Woman Cooks cookbook, I saw a recipe that she does that’s very much like this…she calls it Chicken Spaghetti.
I made this last week for my one and only son’s birthday dinner. I doubled it and sent some to my mom-in-law to freeze. When I told The Husband that The Pioneer Woman had a very similar recipe…he said: “that’s nice…please use my mother’s recipe when you make it…” So I did, although they are almost exactly alike..
Henette
* 4 Chicken Breasts – cooked and chopped small
* 1lb . Spaghetti, broken and cooked
* 1/2 stick butter
* 1 cup chopped onion

Cook about 40 minutes at 350* or until bubbly ~
The picture above is before it’s cooked…we got so excited when it came out of the oven I forgot to snap a picture!
*****You can use left over turkey with this!*****
And like I said…double it and you’ll be so happy one day when you don’t feel well, it truly is comfort food Peeps!

Ok, now that I’m freakishly allergic to all things whey, including milk, butter and CHEESE…. I think I’m going to have to avoid Foodie Friday at your blog so I don’t weep from envy…
