Lovely Leftovers!

I made this last night with stuff I had in the fridge when I got home late and was starving. It literally took 15 minutes and was DELICIOUS! You can substitute whatever you have in your fridge.

Chicken, Noodle and Veggie Delight:
Ingredients:
- 2 c. wheat egg noodles (These cook really fast and go along way in satisfying hunger. I have pretty much replaced cooking with regular noodles and cook mostly with these. I definitely recommend keeping them in your pantry)
- 1/4 c. cream cheese (this is what I used for the sauce, you could also use anything in your fridge like salad dressing or some other liquid to thicken the noodles up)
- Chicken Bullion
- 1/2 c. veggies (I used onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper)
- 1 leftover piece of grilled chicken (if you don't cook regularly you could keep canned chicken in your pantry or use any other kind of meat or protein like beans from a can)

Directions:
Boil water and chicken bullion and then add egg noodles.

Cook egg noodles for about 6 minutes before dumping out about half the water and adding cream cheese, veggies and your chicken (cubed).

Cook about 6 more minutes until noodles and veggies are soft. Add salt and pepper as needed.

It seems really simple which is why I love it but it's also really satisfying, tastes like a home cooked meal, and keeps me from picking up something quick on my way home when I know how fast I can make this. Hope y'all enjoy!
