Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups leftover or rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 pound wide egg noodles
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, cut into chunks
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1 cup milk or heavy cream
- 1 can (15 oz) peas and carrots, drained
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional Ingredients for Extra Flavor:
- 1 medium onion, diced (or 1 teaspoon onion powder)
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
- Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta – In a large pot, boil the egg noodles according to package instructions (8-9 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- Sauté Aromatics (If Using) – In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and celery (if using) and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft.
- Prepare the Creamy Sauce – Stir in the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, chicken stock, milk, and drained peas and carrots. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is smooth and heated through.
- Combine with Pasta – Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and stir until fully coated in the creamy sauce. Let simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes. If needed, add more chicken stock or milk to adjust the consistency.
- Serve & Garnish – Remove from heat and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, or extra black pepper if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For a thicker sauce, let the pasta simmer a few extra minutes, or add a bit more cream cheese.
- For a thinner sauce, stir in an extra splash of chicken stock or milk.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
- Make it extra cheesy by adding 1/2 cup shredded cheddar for a richer flavor.
