Chicken and Noodles

This was on the menu for today. So very yummy! This recipe came from a friend of my friend, Sarah. Comfort food that is easy to make! I love how this recipe is laid out so that prep time and cook time work together.

I did not make the bread you see in the photo. It is the Everything Italian bread from the Wal-Mart bakery. Of course, we LOVED it and bought it one more time after this and then they stopped making it!!

1 medium white onion, diced

2 cups carrots, roughly chopped

2 cups celery, roughly chopped

1.5-32 oz. boxes chicken broth

1 rotisserie chicken

3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

1/2 bag frozen eggs noodles

Bring chicken broth to a boil in a large stew pot while preparing veggies. Add diced onion first. Once broth has come to a contstant boil, add carrots. Wait 3 minutes, add celery. Boil all veggies together 10 more minutes-they should be softening. Next, add the frozen egg noodles. Cook 20 minutes on med-high heat. When the noodles are added, start breaking apart the chicken. After the 20 minutes, add chicken. Then add whipping cream and let cook 5 minutes.

My notes: I really like lots of noodles, so I use the whole bag and just use all of the two boxes of chicken broth. Don't worry about using only 3/4 cup of the heavy whipping cream and having some left over, because you can use the rest to make Italian Cream Sodas for a treat later...recipe to follow soon :o)
