Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked shredded or diced chicken (rotisserie or homemade)
  • 2 1/3 cups chicken broth (divided use, plus more if needed)
  • 1 1/2 cups diced carrots
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 fresh sprig thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 pound dry wide noodles
  • 2 cups milk (divided use)
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, cook diced carrots with 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth, bay leaf, salt, pepper, and thyme until carrots are tender.
  2. Add celery, onion, and garlic to the pot along with the remaining chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
  3. Add dry wide noodles and cook uncovered for 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of milk and the frozen peas.
  5. In a separate pan, whisk together remaining 1 cup milk and 3 tablespoons flour over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until smooth and thickened.
  6. Add the milk and flour mixture to the pot and stir well to combine.
  7. Stir in the cooked chicken and simmer until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
  8. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • You can use rotisserie chicken or homemade baked/boiled chicken.
  • To make it more soupy, add extra chicken broth.
  • Dry wide noodles or Amish-style noodles hold up better than regular egg noodles.
  • For a richer flavor, stir in cream cheese or sour cream at the end.
  • This dish freezes well—cool completely before storing in freezer-safe containers.
