20 Minute Kid Friendly Chicken Pot Pie Pasta Recipe

Ingredients:

 2 cups leftover chicken, shredded – roast a chicken on the weekend and use the leftovers for dinner
1 lb (16oz bag) wide egg noodles, cooked according to package directions and drained.
2 tbsp butter
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/4 cup cream cheese
1/2 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade (make homemade chicken stock with the leftover bones and chicken from making that roasted chicken)
1/2 cup milk or cream
12oz bag frozen peas and carrots

Directions:

First things first is to have some leftover chicken.  This recipe for roasted chicken will change your life.  Give it a try on the weekend, and use the leftovers to make this easy recipe during the week when you’re pressed for time!

In a large pot of salted water, cook egg noodles according to package directions.  Drain and set aside.

In the same pot, over medium-high heat, add butter and let melt until it starts to foam.  Add leftover chicken and cook in melted butter for about 2 minutes.  If you wanted to, dice and sautee an onion for an extra layer of flavor!

Reduce heat to medium and add remaining ingredients to pan and stir to combine.  Cook, until simmering and the peas and carrots are heated through – about 5 minutes.

Sorry, this one is kinda blurry.

Add pasta back to the pot and carefully stir to combine.  Let cook another 2-3 minutes, allowing the pasta to absorb some of the sauce, and warm back up.

Serve right away and enjoy!
