Spicy Ro-Tel Chicken
A spicy chicken and noodle dish not for the faint of heart - this is three alarm spicy, but oh so yummy (and ridiculously easy to make).
Lock and load everyone, this ones spicy! If you have never experienced the greatness of Ro-Tel Tomatoes with Green Chiles, then you're missing out. It's got spice for sure, but the egg noodles, chicken and parmesan cheese certainly calm it down a bit. I made this for Ryan the other day when I had almost nothing to work with in the kitchen plus the fact that I had no intentions of cooking anyways! A simple, quick meal was exactly what I needed, and boy did I serve up a good one!
So go pour yourself a glass of milk (or wine) and enjoy this tasty masterpiece for an easy weekday meal.
