Notes
Add carrots or peas for extra texture and color.
Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker preparation.
For a richer flavor, add extra cream or a spoonful of sour cream.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Add a splash of broth or water when reheating to loosen the texture.
For best freezing results, freeze the broth and chicken separately and add fresh noodles when reheating.
