Creamy Chicken Noodle Delight
A comforting and creamy chicken noodle dish that is quick and easy to prepare, perfect for any day.
Equipment
- Dutch oven or large pot
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 10.5 ounces condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 3 cups uncooked extra wide egg noodles
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 to taste salt
- 1 to taste pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley optional, for garnish
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven or large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Tip: Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant. Tip: Be careful not to let the garlic brown, as it can turn bitter.
- Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and condensed cream of mushroom soup. Stir until everything is well combined and increase the heat to high.
- Once the mixture reaches a boil, add the uncooked egg noodles. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Tip: This helps to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
- After 10 minutes, reduce the heat to medium or medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer. This will help prevent the liquid from reducing too much before the noodles are fully cooked.
- Stir in the shredded cooked chicken and let it warm through for a couple of minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your creamy chicken noodle delight immediately!
Notes
If the sauce thickens too much, you can add a little more chicken broth or water to reach your desired consistency. For added flavor, consider including vegetables like peas or carrots.
