Variations & Tips
- Richer & Creamier: For a richer, creamier supper, replace 1 cup of the chicken broth with a can of cream of chicken soup or a cup of half-and-half stirred in during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Add Veggies: If you like a little color and sweetness, add 1 cup of frozen corn or peas and carrots along with the noodles.
- Chicken Swap: You can also swap the chicken breasts for boneless, skinless chicken thighs for an even more tender, old-fashioned texture.
- Firmer Noodles: If you prefer firmer noodles, cook the egg noodles separately on the stovetop and stir them into the shredded chicken and corn mixture right before serving.
- Flavor Boost: For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of dried parsley or thyme, or a small minced onion at the beginning with the chicken.
- Leftovers: Leftovers thicken as they sit; the next day, loosen with a splash of broth or milk while reheating on the stove over low heat.
