Easy Dinner Ideas: Chicken and Noodles

I love easy and delicious dinners! It can be hard to think of new yummy ideas and lets be honest-- I don't know of anyone who has the time or energy to make a Pinterest worthy dinner every night. I love recipes that are simple and easy but super delicious! This recipe I got from my mom who is the best cook on the face of the planet. The first time I cooked it I was so surprised how easy it was! I would even dare to call it foolproof.

Chicken and Noodles

Ingredients

• Small boneless skinless chicken thighs (super important to use boneless skinless thighs and not breasts!!)
• Chicken broth
• Wyler's Chicken granules 
• Egg Noodles (you can find these in the frozen bread section)
• Salt and Pepper to taste

The reason I didn't put how much of each is because it just depends on how many servings you want or if you like tons of chicken, etc. If you are using one package of the egg noodles I would say use one small package of chicken thighs (usually about 5-6). For the chicken broth I typically use one large family size can of chicken broth (Swanson 49.5oz) plus one 14.5oz can. As you cook your chicken broth will reduce down so just continue to add broth as needed to get the proper consistency. 

Instructions

First, boil your chicken in water until chicken is fully cooked. Drain water and cut up chicken and then put it back into the pot. Add enough chicken broth to cover. Once your broth is boiling add the egg noodles. Add about 2 tbs of chicken granules and bring everything back to a boil. At this point taste the broth to see if more chicken granules are needed. You want it to taste "chicken-y" as my mom would say. Continue to boil until your noodles are done. Add salt and pepper to taste and you're ready to eat! 

This is one of my FAVORITE cold weather meals and pairs super well with a yummy salad. The salad in the photo is made with one of the Dole Salad Starters found in the produce section. 

Hope you enjoy!
