Serve over plain spaghetti noodles or Jewel’s Noodles. (I like to spoon the sauce left in the pan on top of the chicken too! It’s REALLY good!)
Jewel’s Noodles
1 pkg thin spaghetti noodles
1 medium sized container of sour cream
1 medium sized container of cottage cheese (small curd works well)
Cook the noodles as directed on the package. After straining out the water put noodles in a bowl (I always put them back in the pot) and add the sour cream and cottage cheese. Mix well and eat!
