My Favorite Tips for Foolproof Results

These tips help the dish turn out better each time. They are simple reminders:

• Cut the chicken into even sized pieces so it cooks evenly
• Do not let the garlic overcook because garlic burns easily
• If you want a thicker sauce, use less milk
• If you want a thinner sauce, add a little more milk
• Taste before serving and adjust salt and pepper
• Keep the heat low after adding the soups so the sauce doesn’t separate

Small details make the dish turn out smoother and more consistent.

Switch It Up: Easy Variations You’ll Love

This dish can change based on what you like. You can switch ingredients to make it different but still tasty:

• Use rotisserie chicken instead of raw chicken to make it faster
• Try different vegetables like broccoli or peas only
• Use cream of celery soup instead of mushroom
• Add shredded cheese to make it extra cheesy
• Sprinkle paprika or parsley on top for a little color
• Use wide pasta shells or regular pasta if you don’t have egg noodles

Simple swaps can make the dish feel new.

Perfect Pairings & Serving Ideas

Even though this dish is a full meal, you can serve it with something else. Here are basic pairing ideas:

• A simple green salad
• Garlic bread or dinner rolls
• Steamed broccoli on the side
• Applesauce for kids
• A small side of fruit

These sides are plain and easy. The main dish is creamy and filling, so the side should be simple.

Leftovers? Here’s How to Store & Reheat Like a Pro

Leftovers are great because this dish still tastes good the next day. Here is how to store them:

• Put leftovers in an airtight container
• Refrigerate for up to 3 days

To reheat:

• Warm in the microwave in short bursts
• Add a splash of milk if the pasta gets too thick
