Frequently Asked Questions About Creamy Chicken Pot Pie Noodles
Can I use rotisserie chicken?
Yes. Skip searing chicken and add shredded rotisserie chicken when broth simmers.
Can I use milk instead of half-and-half?
Yes, but the sauce will be less rich. Whole milk works best.
What pasta works besides egg noodles?
Small shells, rotini, or bowties work well.
Can I freeze this?
Creamy pasta dishes freeze best before adding noodles. If freezing after cooking, texture may soften.
