How to Make Easy Chicken and Egg Noodles
Ready for quick creamy chicken and noodles?! This is a really fast recipe – it’s perfect for weeknights.
- Cook the chicken in a large skillet over medium heat for five to 10 minutes. You want to cook it until it’s almost done and then transfer it to a plate while you make the rest of the dish. Once you add back to the sauce it will finish cooking.
- In the same pan, cook the mushrooms for two to three minutes. Add the soup, pepper, and cheese and stir it occasionally until it’s hot. Add the chicken to the sauce along with the frozen peas and cook it all together for two to three minutes.
Serve the chicken and sauce over the cooked egg noodles.
What to Serve with Creamy Chicken and Noodles Skillet
Sometimes I serve it all on its own and sometimes I add some side dishes – especially if I want to stretch it to serve a few more people. Adding sides is a great way to do that!
- Add a fresh tossed salad on the side with a tangy vinaigrette. It will balance out the richness of the chicken and noodles.
- If you’re feeling like really treating yourself add some crusty bread on the side to soak up all of the creamy sauce.
- Simple veggies like roasted or steamed broccoli, cooked green beans, sautéed spinach or glazed carrots are a nice side dish, too.
How Long Do the Leftovers Keep?
This is a great dish for leftovers (hint: make a double batch!) because chicken and egg noodles keep well in the refrigerator for several days.
The sauce will thicken when it’s chilled but you can add a splash of milk, chicken broth or even just water to loosen it up when you reheat it. Warm it up on the stove or in the microwave.
If you’ve been craving some serious comfort food, I hope you give this chicken noodle skillet a try! It’s one of my favorite chicken and egg noodle recipes. I think you’ll love just as much as we do.
