This last month I happened to walk into the grocery store to pick up a couple of items and I happened to find a sale on chicken leg quarters. They were only .49 a pound. I usually cook 10 pounds in the crock pot with some Italian seasoning and 2 cups of water. This gives me 10 cups of cooked, chopped chicken and about 4 cups of chicken stock. What a great deal! Since I had already cooked the turkey earlier this month I needed some other recipes for my mini cooking session. This recipe is the result of that search. It is great served over hot noodles. You could use chicken breast instead of legs if you prefer.
