Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

• 2 cups leftover or rotisserie chicken (shredded)
• 1 pound wide egg noodles
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• ½ cup cream cheese
• ¾ cup chicken stock
• 1 cup milk or heavy cream
• 1 can peas and carrots, drained
• Salt and pepper to taste

Optional for Added Flavor:

• 1 medium onion, diced (or onion powder)
• 1 stalk celery, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (or garlic powder)
• Parmesan cheese for garnish

Directions

1. Prepare the Noodles: Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of boiling water for 8-9 minutes, or according to package instructions. Strain and set aside.
2. Create the Base Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. If using, sauté the diced onion, celery, and garlic until fragrant (about 2-3 minutes).
3. Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, followed by the cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, chicken stock, milk or heavy cream, and drained peas and carrots. Stir the mixture well, cooking over medium heat for 5 minutes to combine flavors and create a creamy sauce.
4. Incorporate the Pasta: Return the cooked noodles to the skillet, stirring until they are fully coated in the sauce.
5. Final Simmer: Let the pasta and sauce simmer together for another 3-5 minutes to ensure the noodles absorb the flavors. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with Parmesan cheese, if desired, and serve warm.
