North Alabama Chicken Stew

To keep this dish southern, you could serve it with some buttered biscuits or cornbread. For me, I love dipping a crusty boule into stews. I’d probably go for a round sourdough loaf from the bakery (yum!). Otherwise, this dish is really hearty and contains protein, veggies and starch, so it’s pretty balanced on its own. I’d say serve it with a second bowl of stew!

Skillet Lasagna

We use no-cook lasagna noodles, so we do not boil them before adding them to the skillet. These noodles absorb moisture from the sauce, softening as the lasagna simmers. Do not substitute cooked noodles for this recipe, as the lasagna would turn out too saucy and watery.
