Back to school season is here! And I know you need some quick and easy dinners to put into your rotation. I’ve got a great one for you today – this one pot creamy chicken noodle skillet. YUM!

It is actually pretty healthy too since I did not use any heavy cream! Don’t worry though – it tastes great. 🙂 I just used plain old 2% milk, and it is enough to give it that creamy texture to the sauce.

The real beauty of this recipe is that it is made in ONE pot. You don’t need to buy the boxed “helper” stuff (with all the sketchy ingredients) to get the convenience of a one skillet chicken dinner. You can make this one skillet meal with all natural ingredients!

The trick to these recipes is getting the liquid to pasta ratio just right. I had to make it a few times before I got it to be just perfect!

Just a heads up: when you first add the pasta into the liquid, it will not look like it is going to be enough liquid at first. That’s okay! Just give it a good stir, put the lid on, and then stir it again in a couple of minutes after the pasta has had a chance to start tenderizing. The liquid will eventually cover the pasta, and it will reduce down to create the yummy sauce.

The flavors of this dish actually remind me of chicken pot pie. It is almost like taking the filling from chicken pot pie and putting it over pasta…MMM!

    Would I need to adjust the cooking time at all if I used regular noodles instead of egg noodles?

      Hi Melissa! I think this should still work fine with the same time. There is a chance that the noodles may get tender a little faster, so just keep an eye on it.

        Thanks! I just took a minute off the cooking time and they cooked perfectly. I was hoping for a bit creamier flavor, so I also added a cup of parmesan cheese and it was delicious!

    This came out great for me when I had to serve lunch to my visiting family in a pinch.. I added a little extra water in the end so the noodles could cook a little longer and wouldn’t be al dente with our 2 year old eating it too.

    I really wanted to like this restaurant I’ve but IT CAME OUT WITH SO MUCH LIQUID, I had to throw out some of it..I followed the recipe exactly too. So, what went wrong?

      Hey Lisa! I am sorry it came out liquid-y. Hmmm, can I ask what type of milk was used? Not sure if that would do it or not. Also, instead of dumping it out, you might could simmer uncovered for an extra minute or 2. A lot of that liquid would reduce down. Better luck next time!💖
