Beef Chicken Cookbook Main Dishes

Stir-Fried Chicken and Noodles

This is a quick and easy stir-fry. I have tried many different combinations of vegetables, and the sauce is also good with beef instead of chicken. (Substitute beef broth when using beef.)

1/2 C. chicken broth
1/3 C. reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 C. white wine or additional chicken broth
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
3/4 lb. chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, cut into strips
4 tsp. canola oil, divided
2 C. broccoli florets
2 C. julienned carrots
2 C. Chinese or Napa cabbage, shredded
1 C. fresh or frozen snow peas, cut into 1″ pieces
6 oz. spaghetti, broken
2 tsp. cornstarch

In a bowl combine the first 7 ingredients; set aside 3/4 cup. Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag; add remaining marinade. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 30 minutes. Drain and discard marinade. In a large non-stick skillet or Wok,
stir-fry chicken in 2 teaspoons oil for 3 to 5 minutes, or until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm. Stir-fry broccoli and carrots in remaining oil for 6 minutes. Add cabbage and peas; stir-fry 3 minutes longer, or until vegetables are crisp-tender.

Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Combine cornstarch and reserved marinade until smooth; add to vegetable mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Drain pasta; stir into vegetable mixture. Return chicken to the pan; cook and stir until heated through.

Yield: 6 servings.

Tuna Noodle Casserole

Elizabeth and Joshua Clark would never eat tuna until they tried Aunt Jeanette’s. This is also one of Jim Grady’s favorite meals. A peanut butter sandwich is very good with this dish. Dunkerton High School always had peanut butter sandwiches with their tuna noodle.

1 pkg. noodles
1 can tuna, drained
1 lb. Velveeta cheese
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can peas, optional
Potato chips

Cook noodles until done. Add tuna, soup and peas. Cut cheese into chunks and put in mixture. Put potato chips on top. Bake at 350º for about an hour, or until cheese is melted. This is a good way to use up old potato chips.

Barbecues

25 lbs. ground beef
1 1/2 large onions, finely chopped
6 – 10 1/2 oz. cans tomato soup
2 – 44 oz. bottles catsup
1 C. mustard
3/4 C. vinegar
Handful or 2 of brown sugar
Salt
Pepper

Brown ground beef in pan; drain. Put in roaster. Add rest of ingredients. Mix well. Simmer 2 hours. Don’t add vinegar until you taste mixture because different brands of catsup use different amounts of vinegar in their recipes. Just make it taste the way you want, a little more of this or a little more of that.

Serves 100.
