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.
