For Andy!

Kendall’s younger brother Andrew came over to watch the latest ep of “The Great British Bake-off”.

To my astonishment, Andrew admitted to me that he doesn’t really cook much!

Well! I told him to come to this blog to find recipes to really hone his skills. He smiled and said he’d check it out but I knew he wouldn’t.

But why?

As I pondered this question I realized it’s because the recipes were too complicated for a beginner. So I devised this recipe to offer minimal effort yet maximum rewards.

Andy, I hope this proves to be date-night worthy for you and your love Ainahlee! Enjoy!

Mix chicken and dip together with pepper, garlic and onion powder.

Lay 1 noodle flat, spread 1/6th of the chicken mixture over the pasta leaving the last 1 inch of noodle uncovered. (This will allow the mixture to squeeze to the end when rolling up.) Create a trench or divot down the center of the mix. Spread about 1-2 tablespoons of pizza sauce in trench. Cover with shredded mozzarella.
