It's been really cold here in Oklahoma the last couple of days it is after all January so, I wanted something hot and hearty.  And, that would be my chicken and noodles it warms and fills you up.  My pinterest recipe is the 7-Up biscuits from www.plainchicken.com .  Since I am baking challenged I didn't know how these would turn out well, they turned out just fine and they were good.  The bearded fella ate several when I sat the plate in front of him and declared they didn't  even need butter.  I myself, added butter.  I did cut 12 instead of nine so, they were kinda small.  Next time, and there will be a next time I won't pat them down so much and will make sure there is only 9.

                             Chicken and Noodles

1- 24 oz package of Reames frozen noodles or dumplings
1 Tbl dried onion flakes
3-4 cloves of garlic, grated
2 bay leaves
6 c. chicken broth (I use better than bouillon)
3 c. cooked, diced chicken (I use my roasted chicken, recipe is below)
       Salt and pepper to taste

Place a soup pot on the stove and add the onion flakes, grated garlic and bay leaves to the bottom of the pot.  Then add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add noodles.  I cook them for a couple of hours on low simmer until the juice starts to thicken stirring, occasionally.
Once it starts to thicken I add the chicken and cook for about 45 minutes longer.
You will most likely have to add more water as they cook and adjust the seasonings as you go.  Remove bay leaves before serving.

I did look on pinterest for a recipe for chicken and dumplings I didn't find one that I liked.  If you cook this recipe long enough either using the noodles or dumplings the results will be just like your Grandma cooked if your Grandma cooked chicken and noodles.  I like this recipe it is one of my and my families favs.

                                   7-Up Biscuits

2 c. Bisquick
1/2 c. sour cream
1/2 c. 7-Up
1/4 c. butter

Preheat oven to 450.
Cut in sour cream into biscuit mix, add 7-Up.  This makes a very soft dough.
Sprinkle additional biscuit mix on a board or table and pat dough out.
Melt butter in a 9-inch square baking dish.  Place cut biscuits in the pan and bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

This should make 9 biscuits,

I read through a couple of the recipes and when it came to the butter I only put 2 Tbls. in the pan melted the other 2 Tbls. in a separate bowl and brushed over the top.  Like I said earlier I will be making these again and will make sure I only cut 9.

 Nothing better on a cold day than chicken and noodles with homemade biscuits.  Enjoy!!!
