    Old-Fashioned Chicken Skillet Supper
    A very hearty skillet supper!

    Skillet suppers, like this Old-Fashioned Chicken Skillet Supper, are popular among the Amish, and, a lot of other people.  Why?  One dish to clean!  No using 10 different pots to make a massive meal. All the goodness you need and want with this meal is contained in one skillet.  Stainless steel has been the skillet of choice for generations, but iron used to be the first choice and the pendulum is slowly swinging back to iron. And while you don’t have to use an iron skillet to make this, many Amish cooks swear by the iron skillet’s ability to transfer heat evenly and thoroughly.  Not to mention an infusion of iron, which can be a good thing if you're low on the mineral.

    This Old-Fashioned Chicken Skillet Supper is a typical Amish "skillet supper", and it has a very good flavor.  My parents made it for supper and they were raving about it.  The melding of flavors of the noodles, seasonings, and chicken made for a hearty, substantive dish with a great balance.

    You know, though, in looking at the photos it isn't a very colorful dish. I think if I were making it, I'd add some carrots or peas to it just to give it a bit more pop, then I think you'd have an even more amazing experience.

    Gather your ingredients!

    Many Amish cooks would use their own homemade chicken stock or broth, but for the sake of this recipe, you can use store-bought.

    Chicken in seasonings

    Chicken is soaking in the Italian seasonings. Delicious. You could switch to another kind of seasoning with more heat, but I like the Italian.

    You can really use almost any kind of noodle for this recipe. And, wow, those mushrooms are amazing.

    The cream cheese, which has been added in the above photo, is what really gives this a rich, full, satisfying flavor.

    Let it simmer and the flavors meld, how long really depends on whether you like a soupy supper or something less liquidy.

    A very hearty skillet supper!

      This is variable recipe. I would make a medium white sauce, add celery, carrots (cooked), and some parsley, I would boil the noodles separate. Mix everything together, add a good cup or cup and a half of ricotta cheese. Put it in a casserole, top with bread crumbs and a sprinkle of avocado oil. I have stomach issues and cannot tolerate onions or spices from Italian seasoning.
      Just a thought.
      400 degree oven, foil covered, last ten minutes remove foil to brown. About 35-40 minutes until bubbly. Not to disparage the Amish as I am sure they are awesome cooks!!
