This Best Chicken Pot Pie Noodles recipe is everything you love about a classic pot pie — creamy sauce, tender chicken, sweet peas, and hearty carrots — all tossed together with egg noodles instead of baked into a crust. It’s rich, cozy, and so easy to make in one pan, making it a favorite for busy weeknights or when you just need a warm bowl of comfort.

It tastes just like grandma’s chicken pot pie, but with a delightful twist of buttery noodles that soak up all that creamy flavor. Whether you’re feeding a hungry family or meal-prepping for the week, this dish is satisfying, budget-friendly, and endlessly adaptable.

Can I Use Rotisserie Chicken for This Recipe?

Absolutely! Using rotisserie chicken is not only a time-saver but also adds an extra layer of flavor to your pot pie noodles. It shreds beautifully into the sauce, and because it’s already seasoned and cooked, it simplifies the whole process.

You can also use any cooked leftover chicken, poached chicken breasts, or even canned chicken in a pinch. This flexibility is what makes this recipe so weeknight-friendly.

Ingredients for the Best Chicken Pot Pie Noodles

Egg Noodles
These are the heart of the dish, giving you that cozy, soft bite. Wide egg noodles work best to hold the creamy sauce and tender chunks of chicken.

Cooked Chicken
Shredded rotisserie or any cooked chicken brings protein and savory goodness. This ingredient also makes the dish quick and easy.

Carrots and Peas
These veggies are pot pie classics. Carrots add sweetness and texture, while peas bring color and a soft pop of flavor.

Cream of Chicken Soup
A shortcut to a luscious, creamy base. It binds everything together into that familiar pot pie comfort.

Milk
Helps loosen the soup and makes the sauce smooth and velvety.

Onion and Garlic Powder
A sprinkle of these pantry staples adds depth and brings out all the savory notes.

Butter
A little melted butter adds richness and helps the sauce cling to every noodle.

Salt, Pepper & Parsley
Simple seasoning to tie it all together. Parsley adds a bit of freshness and color.

How To Make the Best Chicken Pot Pie Noodles

Step 1: Cook the Noodles

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook until al dente, according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté and Simmer

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the cream of chicken soup, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and let it simmer gently for 3–5 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 3: Stir in the Chicken and Veggies

Add the shredded chicken, peas, and carrots to the skillet. Stir to coat everything evenly in the creamy sauce. Let it heat through for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is warm.

Step 4: Combine and Finish

Fold the cooked egg noodles into the skillet. Toss gently to coat all the noodles in the creamy sauce. Sprinkle in chopped parsley, taste, and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 5: Serve Hot

Serve immediately while warm and creamy. Garnish with extra parsley or even a sprinkle of shredded cheese if you like it extra indulgent.

Serving and Storing Chicken Pot Pie Noodles

Serve this dish straight from the skillet for a rustic and cozy presentation. It pairs perfectly with a crisp green salad or warm, buttery rolls.

If you have leftovers, let them cool to room temperature before storing. Transfer the noodles to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. To reheat, simply microwave in short intervals with a splash of milk to loosen the sauce, or warm it gently on the stovetop.

This dish does not freeze well due to the creamy sauce and noodles, which can change texture when thawed. For best results, enjoy it fresh or within a few days.
