This Old Fashioned Chicken and Noodles recipe is a comfort food classic. It’s chock-full of egg noodles, tender chicken, veggies, and a creamy sauce. Clean and wash chicken and place in a very large pot with onion, celery, carrots, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Cover with water and place the lid on top.
Thick homemade noodles, perfectly tender chicken, broth thickened by the floury noodles, nothing tastes as perfect. In our home, Old Fashioned Chicken and Noodles means NO veggies. Noodles with chicken and nothing else because that’s called chicken noodle soup and that is NOT what we’re making.
You can cook noodles in chicken broth. It is that simple. Use the leftover broth from the chicken and add some more to the pot to cover the noodles. It will add a great flavor to the egg noodles. STEP ONE: First, clean and wash chicken and veggies and then place them in a large pot. Cover with water and place the lid on top.
Just substitute the cooked chicken for the raw and only simmer the chicken long enough for the flavors to infuse and to make the noodles. This makes chicken and noodles so much easier! Love Comfort Food? Love Comfort Food? Want more comfort food? Try my Old Fashioned Beef and Noodles.
