Often times during the holiday season we have leftover roast chicken or turkey around and don’t know what to do with it. We’ve created an excellent recipe for using those leftovers, and flavored with Old Bay Seasoning. We’ve named it Old Bay Chicken and Noodles, and it’s scrumptious. The recipe is basically egg noodles, Old Bay Seasoning, chopped left over chicken or turkey, a white sauce and Gruyere cheese.
