Chicken pot pie noodles is a one-pot dish that hits the spot every time. It is made using simple ingredients found in classic chicken pot pie such as fresh vegetables, chicken, and a hearty sauce but adds egg noodles to complete the dish.
This creamy and delicious recipe is a great use for leftover chicken just like our other dinner recipes including chicken pot pie soup and chicken pot pie casserole.
CHICKEN POT PIE NOODLES INGREDIENTS
You’ll need:
- 4 cups water
- 4 chicken bouillon cubes
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- ½ yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 6 ounces white mushrooms, chopped
- 2 cups chicken, cooked and chopped into small pieces
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 2 cups half and half
- 1 (15-ounce) can corn, drained
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups large egg noodles
PRO TIP:
You could use leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken you pick up at the grocery store for this recipe.
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
CHICKEN: I love making this great recipe when I have leftover prepared chicken. It’s an easy way to use it all up. Rotisserie chicken would work well, and turkey would be a delicious protein in place of chicken. Chicken breasts can also be used for this recipe. Cook on the stovetop over medium heat until cooked through. Shred while still hot using two forks.
NOODLES: Egg noodles are the perfect consistency for this recipe, but another type of pasta would work just fine. Bow tie noodles in particular 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, and it’s the perfect way to use up 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 MAKE THIS CHICKEN POT PIE NOODLES RECIPE
STEP ONE: In a large mixing bowl, combine water and chicken bouillon cubes. Microwave on high for 4 minutes and then stir to combine. Set aside.
STEP TWO: In a large dutch oven or large pot over medium heat, heat and melt the butter. Add carrots and celery and saute, stirring often until tender, about 10 minutes.
STEP THREE: Add onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Saute, stirring often until tender, about 4 minutes.
STEP FOUR: Add cooked chicken, sea salt, white pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, and parsley. Stir this all together well. Let cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
STEP FIVE: Add chicken broth, half and half, corn, and peas. Stir well. Bring to a boil and add in the egg noodles. Cover the pot and reduce heat to a medium-low. Let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring 2 to 3 times. Uncover and stir, continue to cook uncovered for 5 additional minutes, or until pasta is tender.
PRO TIP:
The egg noodles do not need to be cooked first. Add them to the mixture and they will cook along with the rest of the ingredients.
STEP SIX: Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
HOW TO SERVE
Serve this pasta dish with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and homemade buttermilk biscuits or dinner rolls to mop up the creamy sauce when done. It’s the perfect comfort food that is ideal for quick weeknight meals.

Tried this recipe and loved it! Creamy base and just the right amount of spices added. Will definitely make this again for my family.
Tammy says
Would this recipe work if made in a crock pot ?
Layne Kangas says
I haven’t tried it in the crockpot yet!
Lydia wilkinson says
Hi there!! Was wondering if your calories were based on 1 cup or different serving size!!
Thanks so much!
Layne Kangas says
The entire recipe makes eight servings but I’m not positive how many cups each one would be, we didn’t measure it that way.
jay platte says
I made this for my sick son and he felt much better, I also tried some… it was delicious!!
Michele says
Hi Stephanie. I have to ask – what did I do wrong?? I followed the recipe to a tee. It tastes absolutely amazing! Definitely no lack of flavor. But instead of it being thick and creamy, it was more like a soup, but a “little” thicker. Not quite a chowder thickness. Kudos for the taste though!
Jonalee says
This is the epitome of comfort food! I have made it four times since finding this recipe a month ago. I can eat leftovers for days and not be tired of this. I made it again tonight using leftover Thanksgiving turkey. I have found that a half- to 3/4-bag of egg noodles is perfect. Thank you for sharing this awesome recipe that I will be making for years to come!

Can you make it the crockpot
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Leslie – I haven’t tried in the crockpot yet!
Cheryl Beckerdite says
Does this recipe freeze well?
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Cheryl – you can freeze the whole recipe or you can do steps 1-4 and then freeze and then when you’re ready to serve, continue on at step 5 so the noodles aren’t frozen. Enjoy!
Gloria says
Literally the best meal!

I will try this recipe for sure. I add poultry seasoning and sage to my chicken pot pie. I would serve this with a salad.
Stephanie says
I have never made any kind of pot pie but I am sure it would be great with Chicken or Turkey. I really look forward to trying this recipe. 😋😋
Elaine says
This looks amazing. I love easy recipes and using the noodles rather than bow tie pasta would be my choice.
Bobbie says
This looks great!! I think I would stick with the egg noodles here, as they will bring a richness to the dish that bowtie might miss. So fun! Thanks for the idea. I recently found your sight, and I love it already!!

I make chicken pot pies, I usually make 3-6 of them at a time and freeze them for an easy dinner night. Last time I made some mini ones as well. I look forward to trying this recipe, sounds yummy!!
cindy says
I think using turkey instead of chicken would be a great way to use leftover turkey. I have made turkey and dumplings with a good deal of family success. This recipe using noodles, bowtie is what i’d use, is such a time saver!
Deb King says
This recipe looks delicious! I have made variations but not sure they were considered real pot pie. I want to make the dough type soon. Anxious to try this recipe.
Joan Mihalovic says
Hi- have made Chicken Pot Pie. Used store bought crust – frozen Vegetables – always a treat
Lara says
I haven’t made this recipe yet, but I’m looking forward to the variation with chicken pot pie and using noodles. I’ve tried turkey in my pot pies, but it’s not the same as using a rotisserie chicken which has so much flavor and isn’t dry.
Diana O'Connor says
I have not made this yet, but it sounds delicious!! If I do make this I think baking powder biscuits would be the perfect side.
Elizabeth M Heimlich says
I have made chicken pot pie before using store bought pie crusts. Thissounds even easier!
Chelsea says
I have made homemade mini chicken pot pies before with my mother in law. We add just carrots and peas but I would like to do other vegetables when I make them.
JENNIFER says
This looks delicious! I can’t wait to make it with gluten free egg noodles. 😋

Joanne Ellis says
I love the chicken pot pie recipe, I use chicken or turkey, rotini noodles, and mixed vegetables. It’s awesome!
Andrea Delcore says
This looks good! I have made chicken pot pie but it was too much work. Since then I have made adapted chicken pot pie, using refrigerator rolls. I really like it, I just don’t like making it. I would probably make this in a similar way, with biscuits or dumplings.
Karen D. Wilkes says
Love all the recipes so much!!! Turns out Amazing everytime!!! Oh My YUMM!❤😂
Melanie Tschirhart says
I would use Wide Egg Noodles.
I would not add Mushrooms.

Pam says
I have made chicken pot pie from scratch and it’s delicious but this recipe is what I’m trying next! Looks great!
Melinda Pettijohn says
This looks like a really delicious way to use leftover turkey after the holidays too!
Pat Stalcup says
I havent made this yet, but i have rotisserie chicken for dinner tonight and will have leftovers for this tomorrow. I would use egg noodles, but will probably omit the cayenne….dealing with throat cancer right now. It sounds delicious!
Belinda says
You can definately use turkey instead of chicken in this recipe as I did .
Iris says
I have made chicken pot pie in the past
Maureen says
I have made chicken pot pie from scratch. It was a labor of love for my husband. I definitely add peas, carrots, celery, and definitely the mushrooms. I also added a little sharp cheddar cheese. It turned out good. I would definitely try this recipe. I know my husband would love it. Can’t take the corn though. Both have health problems and can’t eat it. Another recipe to add to this weeks menu. Will write a review after trying this recipe.
Thank you
Sunshine says
Absolutely delicious! Made it almost as written except added a little more veggies as we are always trying to eat more of them. Used 3 carrots, 3 stalks celery, and the whole 8 oz. carton of fresh mushrooms, and 1 1/2 c peas.
While we love fresh corn on the cob in season, we are not fans of canned or frozen corn. Do love fresh okra, especially good with chicken. So subbed 1 lb of fresh chopped okra for the canned corn.
Also used chicken bone broth instead of a boullion cube for more nutrition, protein and collagen with the same flavor as chicken broth. Otherwise made it exactly as written. It was so delicious! Comfort meal, that is also very healthy. Definitely a keeper, and also sent the recipe off to members of my family.
Kayleen says
This was absolutely delicious! I cooked my chicken in the instant pot while I made the soup and it was phenomenal. My entire family LOVED it! Even my 10 month old devoured his portion and screamed for more. Definitely going to make this again!
