Ingredients and Variations
Chicken – Use leftover cooked chicken, turkey, diced ham, or sliced summer sausage.
Noodles – Egg noodles are the classic ingredient because they are soft and slightly chewy. But feel free to use any medium-sized pasta with ridges or curves like bow-tie, penne, or rigatoni to hold onto all that savory sauce.
Soup – Cream of chicken soup is the base for the creamy sauce. Cream of celery, cream of mushroom, or French onion soup can be used instead, or with cream of chicken for more depth of flavor. Use heavy cream instead of milk for a velvety sauce. Oat milk is the creamiest non-dairy replacement for milk.
Vegetables – Any frozen veggie medley works in this recipe and there is no need to thaw. Toss in fresh veggies like sliced mushrooms, pearl onions, green beans, asparagus, broccoli, or cauliflower florets.
Variations – Top the finished dish with crushed Ritz crackers or seasoned panko breadcrumbs and pop it under the broiler for a golden-brown, crispy topping. Make a meatless meal and replace the chicken with broccoli or cauliflower florets, chunks of portobello mushrooms, tofu, or seitan.
