Chicken pot pie noodles is a one-pot, old-fashioned classic, that’s simple to make and hits the spot every time. Sometimes referred to as chicken pot pie noodle bake or chicken noodle casserole, this recipe is an easy way to use up leftover chicken and make a homemade noodle casserole that is creamy and delicious.

Ingredients

While the ingredients list for chicken pot pie noodles looks long, don’t fret! Lots of the items listed are seasonings or pantry staples that you likely already have.

Then, it’s just a matter of getting your fresh veggies and chicken. I love to use leftover chicken in this recipe, it’s a great way to use it up!

  • butter
  • chicken, cooked and chopped into small pieces (perfect to use leftover chicken or grab a rotisserie chicken from the grocery)
  • white mushrooms, chopped
  • yellow onion
  • celery
  • carrots
  • minced garlic
  • water
  • bouillon cubes
  • half and half
  • sea salt
  • white pepper
  • garlic powder
  • cayenne pepper
  • paprika
  • large egg noodles
  • corn
  • frozen peas
  • dried parsley

Ingredient Substitutions

  • Chicken: I love making this recipe when I have leftover chicken. It’s the perfect way to use it all up. Rotisserie chicken works great too! I have also used turkey in place of chicken and it’s delicious as well.
  • Noodles: Egg noodles are the perfect consistency for this recipe, but there are a handful of other noodles that would work just fine. Bow tie noodles are a great alternative. Try to stay away from any long noodles such as spaghetti.
  • Vegetables: When I think of chicken pot pie, I think of classic veggies like peas, carrots, and mushrooms. However, you can play around and use whichever vegetables are your favorites, or whatever you have on hand. You could add in green beans or simply take out any of the veggies you don’t like.

How to Store Leftovers

Storing leftovers in the fridge is as simple as placing in an air-tight container and popping it in the fridge. When you’d like to enjoy it again, simply put it in the microwave to reheat. This is one recipe that I think is almost better the second day!

What to Serve With This Pasta

This dish is a great one to serve solo because it’s so hearty and full of just about every food group! But, I do have a couple of go-to sides that I love to pair with this recipe. My favorite is to pair it with a hearty side salad. It adds a nice cool, crunchy taste that is a great contrast to the hotdish.

Another go-to for me is to serve this up with a side of homemade bread. It’s perfect for dipping the bread in the leftover sauce and scooping up all the goodness. Plus, it just adds to the comfort food feeling of this dish!

  1. 4 stars
    This was very flavorful but both my husband and I thought it was very salty. I’ll reduce the amount of salt next time. I also added flour to thicken the sauce.

  2. 5 stars
    This was really good. I didn’t add corn and I used frozen peas and carrots instead of chopping my own carrots. I served it with Pillsbury Grands biscuits. Will make again.

  3. Tried this recipe. It was very good and easier than chicken pit pie. I didn’t have 1/2 & 1/2 so I added 3 tablespoons of flour to the melted butter and 2 cups of milk and it thickened the sauce ok. Also instead of corn and peas I added stringbeans. It was quick and easy. Will be making this again.
