It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

I made this for my Husband's Birthday dinner-- for 50 people! I really liked this website because I could type in 50 and it calculated all my ingredients for me. The only thing I did different is I let the chicken simmer in the pot for and hour and a half instead of 35 minutes(obviously because I had 10 pounds of chicken!!) This recipe was WONDERFUL. I had so many compliments. 4 people took leftovers home with them and 3 more asked for the recipe. OH I also made homeade noodles. I got that recipe for the OLD Better Homes and Gardens cookbook :) It was definitely a hit!! The reason bloomers71 didn't find flavor is because she didn't let the chicken and homeade broth simmer for more than 5 minutes! That's where the flavor comes from!
While this is a good recipe, I would tweak it a little for best results and more flavor. First, while it is low-salt, it isn't particularly low-fat because of the cream of chicken soup. I went ahead and used salt to cook my noodles, and found a reduced fat cream of chicken soup (healthy choice works great!). Finally, I cut the chicken breast up first and sauteed it with the vegetables in a nonstick skillet with pam, only used 1/2 cup of water, and simmered for 5 minutes, just long enough to cook the chicken.

This dish had very little flavor. I tried to help it out by adding some sage and, when that didn't help, some seasoned salt, but it still tasted off somehow. I won't be making this again.
