This recipe for Chicken and Noodles is so easy and quick. Make it at the last minute and it tastes like you’ve been cooking all day!
The weather here in Ohio has been just dreadful. This week especially seemed to last forever. Every once in a while the sun would peek through but mostly it’s been cloudy and gray. One of the best ways to combat the cold is with good, old-fashioned comfort food…like these chicken and noodles. This probably shouldn’t even be considered an official recipe. There isn’t much to it but the result is amazing.
| Servings |
- 1 Rotisserie Chicken
- 3 boxes chicken broth
- 14 oz. can of chicken broth
- 1 lb. bag of egg noodles
- 1/2 t. celery salt
- 1/2 t. Lawry's Seasoning Salt
Ingredients
| |
- Pour the 3 boxes of broth into a large pot on medium high heat.
- Pick the breast meat off the chicken and add to broth.
- Bring to a boil.
- Add almost the whole bag of noodles. Leave a few in the bag.
- Add celery salt and seasoning salt.
- Simmer for 20-30 min. until noodles are cooked and soft.
- Serve over mashed potatoes.
- If it gets too thick after the noodles are cooked add the can of chicken broth right before serving.
You can add the dark meat from the chicken if you want to…totally a personal choice. Make sure and add the juice in the bottom of the chicken bag to the broth. Even if it’s just a tiny bit it will add unbelievable flavor. This dish is very similar to my Chicken Noodle Casserole and Chicken Noodle Soup. All are family favorites.
This could be made a bit healthier if you used low sodium chicken broth and whole wheat noodles. If you try it that way let me know how it turns out. It makes enough to feed an army so if you cook it on the weekend you have a second week day meal all ready to go. Honestly…it’s just as good, if not better, as leftovers!
I like the simplicity of this recipe….not a lot of chopping and measuring. Thanks, Ann. Most of the country could truly use some comfort food today!
I am making this tonight! I commented on this I swear I did. Check spam!
Hi Ann, sounds delcious and perfect comfort food for a cold winter night. Picked up the ingredients and will be making tonight. I know it will be yum!!!! Jane
Looks delicious! Can you tell me what company made those dishes? They are so pretty…thanks! ;)
Hi Donnamae! Those dishes are Pfaltzgraff Rio. I thought that Kohls carried them but when I looked online they weren’t there. Here’s a link to the Pfaltzgraff website: http://www.pfaltzgraff.com/patterns-and-collections/rio
Sounds yummy and easy. My kind of recipe.
We def need our comfort foods with the – yet another- winter storm. It JUST stopped snowing. It’s beautiful but keeps me holed up in the house too long.
Love chicken and noodles – you may want to add half a already cooked mild onion and a tsp of parsley flakes – and even a tsp of curry makes it amazing – lots of flavor w/o adding salt.
This paired with a grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwich – heavenly.
Keep warm, dry and safe.
It sounds like the perfect comfort meal for these cold days! We do have sunshine today, but we are suppose to get a “wintery mix” on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Simple and delicious-my kind of recipe! : ) Did you use frozen egg noodles or dry noodles? Looks so yummy!

Hi Jeanette! I use dry noodles from the grocery deli. They are made by an Amish business. I think kluski noodles or frozen noodles would be really good though. Honestly, I think any noodle will cook up in that broth and be delicious!
