Creamy Chicken and Noodles

Rainy days and sick days call for hot bowls of creamy chicken and noodles. Serve with a crisp and bright Easy Greek Salad and some tasty Dinner Rolls for dunking.
Just like Gramma used to make, only this chicken and egg noodles recipe is ready in 3 steps using a can of instant soup and frozen veggies.
Cook it into a casserole by adding more noodles, another can of cream of chicken soup, and milk.

Ingredients and Variations

CHICKEN: Purchase cooked chicken breast or a whole rotisserie chicken to use in recipes all week long. Chunks of pork, beef, or frozen meatballs can be used as well.

NOODLES: Use wide egg noodles in this recipe because they hold up well, especially if it will be kept warm in a Crock Pot. Penne, rigatoni, and bowtie-shaped pasta will hold up well, too.

VEGETABLES: A bag of frozen vegetable medley is a time-saver for this recipe! Carrots, corn, and green beans are easy to find and use, or add other frozen veggies like peas, broccoli, peppers, or mushrooms.

SOUP: Cream of chicken soup is preferred but cream of celery, mushroom, even French onion can be used or mixed and matched.

How to Make Chicken & Egg Noodles

The beauty of this recipe is using ready-made ingredients!

Make noodles, drain, and set aside.
Heat remaining ingredients in a skillet (per recipe below).
Add noodles and heat through.

Recipe Tips

Keep it super easy and use a rotisserie chicken. Cream will give the sauce an extra rich flavor, but unsweetened oat milk or soy milk can be used as an alternative to dairy. Be sure to cook the pasta al dente so it isn’t overcooked once it gets added back to the skillet.

Leftovers

Chicken and egg noodles taste even better the next day! Keep leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator and reheat on the stovetop. Chicken and eggs noodles can be frozen for up to 8 weeks. Scoop cooled portions in a zippered bag with the date labeled on the outside. Thaw in the refrigerator or warm on the stove. Add fresh egg noodles to the leftovers since frozen and thawed noodles won’t be as firm.
