Ingredients:
Ingredient | Quantity |
---|---|
Skinless boneless chicken breast, evenly pounded | 3 |
Unsalted butter | 3 tablespoons |
Onion, finely chopped | 1 |
Chicken broth | 1 quart |
Cream of chicken soup | 1 (10.5 oz.) can |
Cheddar cheese soup | 1 (10.5 oz.) can |
Reams Frozen Egg Noodles | 16 oz. |
Granulated garlic | 1/2 teaspoon |
Paprika | 1/2 teaspoon |
Cayenne | 1/8 teaspoon |
Kosher salt | To taste |
Freshly cracked black pepper | To taste |
Water | 1 cup |
Instructions:
- Preheat a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat and add the unsalted butter. While the butter is melting, lightly season the chicken breasts on both sides with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Once the butter is melted and the pot is hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts to the pot. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes per side.
- Remove the seared chicken from the pot and set it aside.
- Add the finely chopped onion to the same pot and cook over medium heat until the onions become translucent, stirring occasionally.
- Return the seared chicken to the pot with the softened onions. Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Bring the broth to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cook the chicken in the simmering broth until it is cooked through and easy to shred with a fork, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the pot and place it on a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Add 1 cup of water to the broth remaining in the pot and bring the liquid back up to a boil.
- Add the frozen Reams egg noodles to the boiling broth and cook until they are almost tender, about 15 minutes.
- Stir the shredded chicken back into the pot with the noodles and broth.
- Add the can of cream of chicken soup, the can of cheddar cheese soup, granulated garlic, paprika, and cayenne to the pot. Stir everything together to combine.
- Continue cooking over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are fully cooked and the sauce has thickened and become creamy.
- Taste the Chicken & Soup Noodles and adjust the seasoning with more kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper as needed.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
