Print Recipe

Cassie’s Comforting Chicken & Noodles is a hearty, creamy, and soul-warming dish filled with tender chicken, egg noodles, and aromatic herbs—perfect for chilly nights or when you just need a little comfort.

Ingredients

  • Chicken Thighs (bone-in, skin removed): 2 pounds – Adds richness and moisture.
  • Chicken Broth: 8 cups – Forms the flavorful base of the dish.
  • Egg Noodles (wide): 12 ounces – Hearty, soft, and perfect for soaking up flavor.
  • Carrots (sliced): 1 cup – Adds natural sweetness and color.
  • Celery (chopped): 1 cup – Lends a fresh, aromatic layer.
  • Onion (diced): 1 – Builds depth and a savory backbone.
  • Garlic (minced): 3 cloves – Boosts flavor with a subtle kick.
  • Heavy Cream: 1/2 cup – For that luxurious creamy finish.
  • Butter: 2 tablespoons – Adds richness and ties the flavors together.
  • Fresh Thyme (or dried): 1 teaspoon – A fragrant herbal note.
  • Salt and Pepper: To taste – Brings balance and seasoning to the dish.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Place your large pot or Dutch oven on the stove over medium heat.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add chicken thighs, broth, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir gently.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Cover the pot and bring to a gentle simmer for 30–35 minutes until chicken is tender.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Remove chicken and set aside. Add egg noodles to the pot and cook for 6–8 minutes until just tender.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Shred the chicken using two forks and return it to the pot.
  6. Finishing Touches: Stir in heavy cream and butter. Simmer for 5 more minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle into bowls and garnish with thyme or pepper.

Notes

  • Use bone-in chicken for extra flavor.
  • Don’t overcook the noodles—they continue softening as they sit.
  • Freeze in portions for quick comfort meals later.
