    Creamy Chicken and Noodles with pinterest text

    Creamy Chicken and Noodles is made with thick homestyle egg noodles and tender chicken mixed in a cream sauce and seasoned with spices and herbs. This is comfort food at it finest! This dish is great served with vegetables over top or keep it simple with just the cream, noodles, and chicken and serve some veggies on the side.

    Excellent Recipe for Rotisserie Chicken

    If you like to pick up a rotisserie chicken to make dinner easy, and then aren’t sure what to make with it, this is going to be one of your go-to recipes.

    The juicy tender rotisserie chicken goes perfectly in this recipe AND makes dinner prep so much faster. Simply chop or shred both breasts and that should give you plenty of chicken for this creamy chicken and egg noodle recipe (about 3+ cups).

    Noodles for Creamy Chicken & Noodles

    There is only one type of noodle I recommend for this recipe and it is the frozen homestyle egg noodles. I also use them in my chicken noodle soup recipe because they are so good!

    Reames Frozen Homestyle Egg Noodles

    In this recipe I use Reames Frozen Homestyle Egg Noodles, but if you can find a store brand equivalent, that will definitely work too!

    How to Make Creamy Chicken and Noodles

    Start by shredding or chopping 3 cups of cooked chicken. If you are using a rotisserie chicken, start with both breasts and that should be plenty. I like larger pieces of shredded chicken. I think it goes nicely, texture-wise, with the egg noodles. Set the chicken aside.

    Now, cook/boil those delicious frozen egg noodles according to package instructions. Reames noodles are boiled then simmered in water for 20 minutes. Drain the noodles and get ready to assemble the dish.

    Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked egg noodles to the pan and toss to coat them with the butter. Now add the italian dressing mix packet, 2 cups of heavy whipping cream, and 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese. Stir to mix everything together.

    Simmer over medium low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until the cream is thickened.

    Time to eat! (Unless you want to add some veggies, see below)

    Vegetable Option

    If you want to add mixed veggies into your chicken and noodles it makes a great creamy chicken and noodles “casserole”.

    Frozen Mixed Vegetables in a white bowl

    Simply thaw a cup or so of frozen mixed veggies and stir them in. If you add the veggies make sure you taste to see if you need additional salt, then serve!

    This recipe is best served immediately, it is not a good recipe to make ahead.

    Creamy Chicken and Noodles is the perfect comfort food dinner. Thick egg noodles and shredded chicken are mixed in a cream sauce that is flavored with spices and herbs. You can even add mixed veggies for a more well-rounded dinner entree.

      Could you make this with skim milk to cut down on the fat? Would it still thicken? And with the parmesan, is it the dried kind or does it need to be fresh? Thank you!

        Unfortunately the skim milk will not thicken like the heavy cream : (
        For the parmesan cheese you will want to use shredded parmesan. You can buy it pre-shredded in a bag or you can buy the wedge and shred it yourself, it will work either way. Just don’t use the shaker of powdered parmesan (like the stuff you shake over pizza, that is not what you want here).
