Amish Chicken Pot Pie Noodles
Some meals don’t need an intro. The moment you smell them cooking you know you’re in for a good dinner. That’s how I feel about Amish Chicken Pot Pie Noodles. The first time I made it, I wanted something comforting but didn’t have the energy for a complicated recipe. I didn’t want to roll out pie crusts or dirty up every pot in the kitchen. I just wanted a warm, home-cooked dinner.
I opened the refrigerator and saw a package of chicken breasts. I had egg noodles and a couple of basic items in the pantry. That seemed like enough to go on. So I just dumped everything in the slow cooker and let the day happen.
A few hours later the smell coming from the kitchen reminded me of the kind of dinners that summon people to the table without a second invitation. Rich broth, tender chicken and noodles soaking up all of the flavor.
I lifted the lid and the chicken fell apart easily with a fork. The noodles were hearty and cooked well, and the creamy broth brought it all together. It was nothing fancy. It need not have been. It tasted like comfort, pure and simple. Now I use this recipe anytime I want an easy dinner that feels like it came from a family recipe box that’s been passed around for years.
