Stove Top Chicken & Noodles

Chicken, celery, carrots, onions and parmesan cheese with a light cream sauce that’s tossed with noodles. Made completely on the stove top for a quick, lighter and very flavorful meal. The liquid soaks into the noodles making them tasty without drowning in sauce.

Cook the noodles according
to the package directions.

Completely drain the pasta.

Pour the noodles back into the pot you
cooked them in, cover to keep warm.

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium
heat then add the carrots, celery, onion, salt and
pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender,
stirring occasionally.

Sprinkle flour over the vegetables.

Stir coating all of the vegetables, continue
to cook and stir a few minutes.

Add the chicken and toss with the vegetables.

Pour in the broth and bring to a boil.

Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until
the broth thickens and changes color.

Add the cream.

Stir to combine, cooking another
1-2 minutes or until hot.

Add parmesan cheese and stir until melted.

Pour the chicken mixture into the pasta
and toss gently. Put the lid on the pan
and let sit for 2 minutes then toss again.

Garnish with green onion and
parsley (optional) then serve.

Chicken and noodles certainly hits the comfort place for so many! I think I could eat noodles at every meal!
You and me too Dorothy! Have an amazing week!
You too!
😋 this looks so delicious. I am so going to give this a try. Thanks for sharing.
You are very welcome, enjoy!
I am going to have to try this one. Looks healthy and delicious. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! I was surprised how delicious it was because we usually have a lot of sauce with our pasta. I look forward to making this one again.
Looks delicious and perfect for the cooler weather. The Parmesan cheese at the end is a nice touch! 👍
Thank you! I’m ready to start cooking things like soup, stew etc.
Perfect for the weather we’re having right now! Looks fabulous, thanks for sharing! 🍲C
Yes I am ready for some soup too! Thank you!
This is awesomeness right now!
Thanks and I agree I could eat pasta everyday, if you haven’t noticed by all my pasta posts. hahaha
I don’t mind pasta 🙂
Good old fashioned dinner!
Comfort food for sure!
Perfect comfort food.
I could eat this every week. Thank you Bernadette!
Hmm, DELICIOUS! And indeed a quick and easy meal … but I have one concern … where will I get such a beautiful plate like yours to dish it up 😁.
Hahaha thank you!
Yum, yum, yummy!
It was so good even though I didn’t smother it in sauce. 🤣
I love chicken, noodles and creamy sauces – yum. Better pick up extra boxes or bags of noodles as I heard on the news yesterday, that all boxes of noodles and rice are in short supply these days.
I will make my own noodles but I am out of luck with rice!
Yes, hard to have rice plants. Better stock up on rice Diane. When I was buying my pantry items for Winter (and still don’t have everything, but all of the food), I wanted the Uncle Ben’s Seasoned Brown Rice. Skinny box – last year I used it a lot in the crockpot. That and the veggie-flavored noodles made of chickpeas and lentils. So no Uncle Ben’s Seasoned Rice. Tried a second time – zero packages on the shelves, so just went with extra boxes of noodles. I’ve never known anyone that made their own noodles, so you have a machine then? My mom used to make chicken soup with something that was not a dumpling, but more doughy and looked like cauliflower pieces. I don’t know if that was a noodle or a dumpling?
We raised chickens for a year when the kids were growing up. Thought it would be an educational experience and it was, however, I had so many eggs I didn’t know what to do with them and I didn’t want the hassle of selling them. So, I decided to make homemade noodles for everyone for Christmas. I make mine by hand but haven’t made them in a while. The only noodles I like to use is the Amish noodles. I stock up on them when we visit Amish country. I wonder if what your mom made was a spatzle?
That is interesting – at least you knew the ingredients were good in them. I guess you could call it a spatzle – it had the same gummy-like texture. My father liked spatzle bits (not very big) with bacon in his green beans. Green Giant used to make a frozen version and my mom bought it sometimes, then we couldn’t find it, so she would make it for him. Yes, like a bunch of spatzles glommed together. 🙂
So simple and delicious.
Thank you Suni!
This looks good, Diane. I think I have all the ingredients on hand except the heavy cream. Hmmm. Might try it with evaporated milk.
That will work just as good Janet. Thank you!
I kid you not, I was looking for a recipe like this the other day, but could I find one? Nooo. So, thank you.
Awesome this was nice and easy too. You’re welcome. ❤️
Looks delicious.
Thank you and have a great Wednesday!
