Old Fashioned Chicken Noodle Casserole Recipes

OLD-FASHIONED CHICKEN AND NOODLES

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, combine chicken, celery and their tops, carrot, onion and its peel, and pepper. Pour broth over and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until chicken is tender and falls from the bone, about 45 minutes.
• While chicken is cooking, make noodles. In a large bowl, combine eggs, water, oil, salt and enough of the flour to make a stiff dough.
• Strain chicken stock, reserving meat, celery and carrots. Pull meat from bones and return strained stock and meat, celery and carrots to pot. Bring to a boil. Make noodles by cutting dough from a broth-dipped spoon or using scissors or your fingers to make small, chickpea sized, noodles and dropping them in the boiling water. When the noodles rise to the surface they are done.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Cook and drain egg noodles as directed on package.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Cook celery, onions, carrots and garlic in butter 6 to 7 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
• Add 2 1/2 cups of the chicken broth, the thyme, salt and pepper to skillet; heat to boiling. In small measuring cup, beat remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth and the flour with whisk. Stir into hot chicken broth mixture in skillet. Simmer and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat; stir in whipping cream and shredded chicken.
• Add cooked egg noodles to baking dish; stir in chicken mixture until mixed well. Cover; bake 30 to 35 minutes or until casserole is heated through.

Steps:

• Cut up chicken and put in a sprayed 13x9 pan. Top with frozen peas. Place in the oven while preparing the sauce.

• Melt butter in medium saucepan. Add diced onion and cook until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
• Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute stirring constantly.
• Slowly stir in the chicken stock.
• Add the Sour Cream, Mayo, and Milk. I like this combination to make the dinner a little tangy. You could use all milk or any combination you like. Cook to thicken. If you use mostly Sour Cream and Mayo it won't take long at all.
• Turn off the heat and add the cheddar, salt and Pepper. Stir to combine and set aside to let the cheese melt.
• Pull the chicken/peas mixture out of the oven and stir.
• Add the cooked noodles and stir.
• Pour the sauce over the chicken mixture and gently stir to combine.
