Side Idea:

You can also enjoy this meal without the noodles and serve it over mashed potatoes or rice. Using a slow cooker liner with this meal makes for easier clean-up! Pair this meal with a side salad, steamed broccoli, fresh fruit, and a crusty roll for an epic comfort food meal. If you want to cut down on sodium, use reduced sodium condensed soup, make your own, or use one can and substitute the second can with 10 oz of water.

    This was the first thing I saw from crazy busy mama! I have a screen shot of this recipe in my favorite photos folder. I’ve made this several times since then. I think maybe the pickiest kid would eat this. It’s good. It’s easy. And you don’t need a ton of ingredients.

  2. 5 stars
    Tonight, I made the zesty chicken and noodles recipe, and it was a huge hit! I used farfalle pasta, which worked perfectly for holding the creamy, flavorful sauce. To elevate the dish even more, I added a touch of herbes de Provence, granulated onion, and a dash of pepper for extra
    depth. The result was a comforting, delicious meal that came together quickly—ideal for a busy weeknight. The zesty sauce was balanced and vibrant, with just the right amount of kick. This recipe is definitely a keeper in our household, and I can’t wait to make it again!

  3. 5 stars
    I made this last night. It was absolutely delicious! (Almost “too” good for how simple it is) My 13 year old son enjoyed it. He is our picky eater, so to see him clean his plate made me happy. I will definitely make this again.
