Chicken & Noodles is a total comfort food for many people … especially my husband. It’s simple and so yummy! Canned condensed cream of chicken soup used to be a staple in my kitchen. It was always a go to for so many dishes. However, that isn’t the case anymore. I’ve made it a goal to find healthy alternatives to things that we loved to eat! Chicken & Noodles, complete with that overly-processed condensed soup was one of them! I swear that my husband could live off of that and Beef Stroganoff. Even after finding a creamy alternative, it’s been a struggle finding a pasta that wasn’t packed with carbs yet still paleo. There’s a few delicious ones out there, but we keep those to a minimum. I recently stumbled upon a green bean pasta that has only 2 INGREDIENTS – green beans and water! This pasta is so good and packed with protein! It’s now on our dinner menu at least once a week!
I love simple, one-pot dishes! Who DOESN’T love simple tasty meals?! This dish tastes like it’s been cooking forever because of my favorite chicken bouillon paste…and, I promise, you won’t miss the dairy! This paste is liquid gold and goes into so many of my dishes! It’s organic and SO DANG TASTY! Make it a point to grab some the next time you’re at the grocery store!
My Chicken & Noodles meal comes together so quick when you have a leftover rotisserie chicken! However, you are more than welcome to cook a couple chicken breasts or a few thighs, just for this dish! Alright, let’s get to this easy recipe!
In a large pot, bring water to a rolling boil and add pasta. Cook until desired doneness. The pasta that I used cooks in about 4 minutes - it's awesome!
Drain and add the pasta back to your pot.
Add remaining ingredients to the pot and cook for another 10 minutes* over medium heat or until everything is heated through. Taste and add more salt if you'd like! The bouillon paste is usually plenty salty though!
For extra creaminess, add a few tbsp of ghee or grass fed butter - that ALWAYS makes things even better, in my opinion! You can try mixing in some italian herbs or poultry seasonings too. Just be sure to add those in when you add the other ingredients!
You can bulk up this meal buy adding some peas, carrots, or broccoli too! I love to steam a bag of broccoli in the microwave while I'm boiling the pasta and dump it in when I add my chicken. Super easy! It's super versatile and delicious so many different ways!
Recipe Notes
*Be advised, the longer you let this simmer, the more your noodles will cook. Therefore, if you let it simmer for a while on low after it's heated through, you may end up with more broken bits of noodles and a stickier consistency - still delicious. I honestly prefer things this way! haha - A mooshy mess! 🙂
