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.

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!

Literally the best meal!
