Ingredients Needed
- Chicken Stock: This is the main liquid you’ll cook the noodles in.
- Chicken Bouillon: For some additional chicken flavor.
- Cream of Chicken Soup: Gives your chicken noodle skillet a deliciously creamy consistency.
- Dry Egg Noodles: Any type of noodles would work, but egg noodles provide a nice hearty quality.
- Butter: For delicious buttery flavor.
- Diced Chicken: I like to buy a rotisserie chicken so it’s pre-cooked and requires very little prep time! Both chicken breast and chicken thighs work great here.
- Fresh Chopped Parsley
How to Make this Chicken and Noodles Skillet
- Step 1: In a skillet over medium high heat, combine chicken broth, cream soup, and chicken bouillon cube.
- Step 2: Once combined, add the egg noodles and cover the skillet.
- Step 3: Reduce heat to low and cook for 8 to 9 minutes.
- Step 4: When the noodles are fully cooked, add the butter and diced cooked chicken and mix until combined.
Recipe Tips
- Chicken stock gives your dish a bit of extra savory flavor, but vegetable broth is also a fine option.
- Aside from the fresh parsley, you can also add other herbs like oregano, thyme, tarragon, rosemary, or basil.
- To make this a full and complete meal, stir in some steamed veggies like broccoli, carrots.
- If you don’t want to buy a rotisserie chicken, you can use some leftover chicken or frozen grilled chicken.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
- Any kind of skillet, large pan, or large pot with a lid works well for this dish.
- Cream of mushroom soup can also be used for a slightly more earthy flavor.
- For an even richer result, add some heavy cream.
