While the noodles are cooking, melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook it in the butter until the butter turns frothy.

Slowly add the chicken stock to the butter and flour mixture. Add a little bit at a time, stirring constantly, so you create a smooth sauce. Once all of the stock is added, turn up the heat to high. As soon as the mixture starts to boil, turn the heat to medium. Simmer the sauce for five to ten minutes or until it starts to thicken.

Add the cream and stir it into the sauce. If your sauce is too thin at this point, simmer the it for a few more minutes until it thickens more. Add the shredded chicken and parsley and stir to combine. Add the cooked noodles and stir them until they are coated evenly in the sauce. Garnish each serving with more chopped parsley and a few sprinkles of ground black pepper.

About this Recipe
Craving a dinner that feels like a warm hug but comes together in a flash? This Easy Chicken and Noodles recipe delivers ultimate comfort without the fuss, perfect for chasing away the chill on a cold night. It's the kind of satisfying meal you'll want to make again and again.
Inspired by the heartwarming tradition of Amish chicken and noodles, this recipe streamlines the process using readily available shredded rotisserie chicken. The magic happens as thick egg noodles are enveloped in a rich, velvety cream sauce, creating a dish that's both deeply satisfying and incredibly simple to prepare. This approach saves significant time without sacrificing any of the comforting flavor.
You'll be treated to tender, shredded chicken mingling with hearty egg noodles, all coated in a luxuriously smooth, savory sauce. The chopped garlic adds a foundational aromatic depth, while fresh parsley brightens each bite, creating a balanced and inviting flavor profile. This is pure, unadulterated comfort food—a substantial and satisfying meal designed to warm you from the inside out.
While rotisserie chicken makes this dish incredibly easy, you could certainly use leftover cooked chicken, ensuring it's shredded finely. For the noodles, experiment with other wide, flat egg noodles if you prefer, though the thick ones truly soak up the sauce beautifully. If fresh parsley isn't on hand, a pinch of dried parsley or chives could work for a slightly different, yet still delicious, flavor profile.
Ideal for cozy weeknights or a comforting family dinner, serve this Easy Chicken and Noodles hot, garnished with a little extra fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
