Chef’s Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken works wonderfully in this recipe and saves even more time.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute part of the chicken broth with homemade stock.
  • If the noodles absorb too much liquid while sitting, stir in a little extra broth before serving.
  • Add frozen peas and carrots during the last 10 minutes of cooking for an easy vegetable boost.
  • Leftovers reheat well and often taste even better the next day.
