Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts, pre-cooked and cut into bite-size pieces
  • 12 cups homemade chicken broth (or your preferred store brand)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup salted butter
  • Half recipe of homemade egg noodles, or around 18 oz. frozen egg noodles, or 16 oz dry egg noodles
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup cold milk or water

Homemade Pasta (Half Recipe)

  • 4 large eggs
  • 295 grams all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Taste the Broth: Ensure your chicken broth is flavorful by tasting it first. Add salt, pepper, chicken bouillon, or chicken base as needed. Heat the broth once it reaches your desired seasoning level.
  2. Heat Broth with Milk and Butter: In a large stock pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup whole milk and 1/4 cup salted butter to the broth as it warms.
  3. Add Egg Noodles: When the broth reaches a rolling boil, add egg noodles gradually if fresh to prevent clumping or all at once if frozen or dried. Stir to separate noodles.
  4. Cook Noodles: Reduce heat to medium, cooking the noodles until tender. Cooking times vary: frozen noodles take longest, fresh and dried quicker. Taste for doneness.
  5. Add Chicken: Add the pre-cooked chicken pieces to the broth and noodles. Warm through for 3–5 minutes (slightly longer if chicken is cold). Tear or cut into bite-size chunks as preferred.
  6. Simmer with Reduced Heat: Lower heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer.
  7. Thicken the Broth: Whisk 1/4 cup flour with 1/2 cup cold milk or water until smooth and lump-free. Gradually add this mixture to the pot, stirring continuously.
  8. Cook Until Creamy: Stir and cook for 1–2 minutes until the broth thickens and becomes creamy.
  9. Final Seasoning and Serve: Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Serve the creamy chicken and noodles over mashed potatoes for a delicious, hearty meal.

Notes

  • For homemade noodles, mix 4 large eggs with 295 grams of all-purpose flour until a shaggy dough forms. Knead for 5–10 minutes until smooth, cover and rest for 20 minutes, then roll and cut as desired.
  • The resting period for pasta dough is important to relax gluten and make rolling easier.
  • Use flavorful chicken broth as it greatly influences the final taste of the dish.
  • If using store-bought noodles, adjust cooking time based on package instructions.
  • This recipe yields 8–10 servings and takes approximately 4 hours including homemade pasta preparation.
