Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the condensed cream of chicken soup and chicken broth, mixing until smooth.

Return the cooked noodles to the pot and toss them in the sauce until fully coated.
Let the noodles sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

To make this dish gluten-free, use gluten-free egg noodles and check that the cream of chicken soup is gluten-free.

You can swap in different types of pasta, such as rotini, penne, or fettuccine, instead of egg noodles.

For a creamier sauce, stir in heavy cream or sour cream.

Add vegetables like peas, carrots, or mushrooms for extra flavor and heartiness.
