Tips & Variations

  • Use leftover cooked chicken to save time and add extra flavor.
  • Swap frozen mixed vegetables for fresh peas, carrots, and corn for a fresher taste.
  • Add a sprinkle of shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese on top before serving for extra richness.
  • For a lighter version, use low-fat soups and milk or substitute cream with Greek yogurt stirred in at the end (off the heat).

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk if the sauce has thickened too much.

Yes, you can substitute egg noodles with pasta shapes like penne, rotini, or fusilli. Just adjust the cooking time according to the type of pasta you choose.
