🛒 Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1 bag egg noodles or pasta (about 12 oz)
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 bag frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional but delicious)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package directions.
Drain and set aside.
2️⃣ Prepare the Creamy Base
In a large pot, deep skillet, or slow cooker, combine:
- Cream of chicken soup
- Cream of mushroom soup
- Chicken broth
- Milk
Stir everything together until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
3️⃣ Add the Chicken and Vegetables
Add the shredded chicken and frozen mixed vegetables to the creamy sauce.
Stir well so the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated in the sauce.
Cook over medium heat for about 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are heated through.
4️⃣ Add the Pasta
Add the cooked egg noodles to the pot and gently mix everything together.
Season with garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt to taste.
Let everything simmer for 5 more minutes so the noodles absorb some of the creamy flavor.
5️⃣ Make It Extra Cheesy (Optional)
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top and stir until melted and creamy.
This step makes the dish even richer and more comforting.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions

⭐ Tips
✔ Rotisserie chicken saves a lot of time and adds great flavor.
✔ If the sauce gets too thick, add a little extra milk or broth.

✔ Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for 2–3 days and taste even better the next day.
