This recipe is what I call comfort food. This recipe uses ingredients we all should have on hand already. It’s easy and inexpensive to make. You just can’t beat chicken and noodles in the same dish for dinner.
I bought a family pack of chicken breast that made three meals for my family for the price of 15.00 dollars. I just used 2 chicken breast for this meal and put them in the crockpot with seasonings to cook for 3 hours on high. That was the hardest part of making this recipe. Then I shredded the chicken and was ready to make dinner. I often make ahead chicken in the crockpot and shred it and then freeze for later. It makes cooking dinner so much easier.
I used my homemade chicken broth that had great flavor. My husband calls it the broth of gold goodness. The noodles I got from Aldi during German week. These noodles are so good and perfect for dishes like this.
I did use a can of mushroom soup because I didn’t have cream of chicken and it still came out great. I am trying to use what I have on in my pantry hence the can of cream of soup, but I will be making my own cream of soup soon.
I used about half of the bag of noodles which was perfect. The sauce was delicious and went great with dinner rolls for sopping up the sauce. I did let this sit for 15 minutes after it was done cooking which made the sauce perfect.
Creamy Chicken and Noodles
Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups shredded chicken
- 1/2 bag thin noodles
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp oregano
- 1/4 tsp basil
- 1/4 tsp thyme
- 1/4 tsp rosemary
Instructions
- Prepare of pot of water to start cooking the noodles. While noodles are cooking, in a stock pot add in the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup. Give that a whisk so the cream of chicken soup desolves. Then start adding in the seasonings and give it a stir. At this point taste the sauce to make sure it has enough seasonings to your liking. Now add in the shredded chicken and stir. Last add in the noodles and mix well. Let this cook for additional 15 minutes and then the dish is done.Serve with rolls or butter bread
You can add vegetables which would turn this into a nice creamy soup. I have done that before. Just make it your own and what your family would like.
