Creamy Chicken and Noodles

Creamy chicken over noodles is a childhood recipe I have remade into a quick totally homemade meal. This recipe is a favorite with everyone who tries it and is super kid-friendly. It can be on the table in just 15-minutes.

Creamy Chicken Over Noodles!

The reason this dinner is so speedy is that I use leftover chicken. In fact, I used the leftover chicken from my homemade rotisserie chicken! So yummy. If you don’t have any leftover chicken, just bake some chicken breasts earlier in the day or right before you need them. I wrote a handy post about how to bake chicken breasts in the oven, check it out if you need some pointers!

I always love the flavor of thyme and sage with any kind of poultry, and this quick dinner is no exception. I also pair it with just a bit of cream cheese, and the flavor combination is awesome. It makes the sauce creamy and dreamy and flavorful.

Creamy Chicken Over Noodles!

Homemade Creamy Chicken and Noodles Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 2 green onions sliced thin and divided
  • 1 pound of egg noodles

I’ll also let you in on a little secret. Replacing canned cream of whatever soups is a cinch! All you need to do is make a roux. And that is easy, do not fear! All a roux is is equal parts fat to flour, cooked for a few minutes, and then a liquid is added. In this case, I used chicken broth and milk which is my usual ratio when replacing canned soups.

From there, you can adjust the flavor and creaminess by adding cream or sour cream. A perfect example is my beef stroganoff from scratch recipe, it’s something that is normally made from a box or canned soup. But I replaced it just the same way I did with this recipe!

How Do You Make This Creamy Chicken and Egg Noodles?

  1. Boil egg noodles according to package instructions while you are prepping the creamy chicken.
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the flour and whisk together into a paste. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 3 minutes, until the mixture darkens slightly.
  4. Pour in chicken stock and milk, whisking constantly.
  5. Add herbs, salt, and pepper. Simmer until thickened, about 4 minutes.
  6. Add cream cheese and whisk until smooth.
  7. Add chicken and green onions, leaving some of the green onions for garnishing.
  8. Serve warm over egg noodles. Garnish with green onion slices, if desired.

FAQs For Homemade Creamy Chicken and Noodles

What Type of Chicken Do You Use?

Use any kind of cooked chicken for this recipe. I have used a rotisserie chicken, leftover cooked chicken, and canned chicken. All of the will work great.

What Is A Roux?

A roux is an equal mix of fat and flour. They are cooked together for a few minutes. There are different types of roux – a white roux, a blonde roux, and a brown roux. The difference between them is the cooking time and therefore color. A white roux is cooked for the least amount of time and is the most commonly used roux.

How Do You Thicken Chicken and Noodles?

A roux is the best way to thicken chicken and noodles. It is the base of the sauce and shouldn’t be skipped.
