Three-Cheese Chicken and Noodles, Apricot Glazed Vegetables
As summer comes into full swing, we tend to look for meals that require less time in the kitchen to prepare, and one handy appliance that affords that opportunity is the slow cooker or crockpot. Using a crockpot also allows you free time to prepare other side dishes while the main course cooks.
This Three-Cheese Chicken and Noodles recipe is quick and easy to put together and the combined flavors is so satisfying. A side dish of Apricot-Glazed Vegetables offers a new twist on your typical vegetable dish.
You might also like to include serve hot rolls or biscuits and a big glass of iced tea to complete your meal.
