Quick Chicken & Noodles Dinner - Echoes of Laughter

To me, there is no easier meal on this planet to serve than chicken, noodles and cheese. I mean...everyone likes chicken and noodles. In this Quick Chicken & Noodles Dinner, the addition of veggies makes this a hands down winner for nutrition, along with great taste provided by Campbell’s Condensed Cream of Chicken soup. As a busy mom, I really appreciate that Campbell’s recipes are Simple to Make, Easy to Love. {You will find a whole collection of easy family recipes on the CookWithCampbells.ca website}.For my family, this is perfect to whip up at dinner time for a fast yet satisfying meal. For our busy schedule, I made this dish even faster by making it in the morning and then placing it in the fridge until dinner time, so it just needed a quick re-heat.

My teenage son likes to eat every half hour it seems {no lie!}, so I doubled this recipe to have in the fridge to feed his grizzly bear-like hunger whenever necessary!

This recipe is so versatile too as you can really add any veggies or cheese that your family likes too!

I also think this recipe, although delicious as is, would also work great with rotini or penne pasta if that is what is in the pantry.

And those turkey leftovers? They could easily be subbed into this recipe instead of chicken, so YAY for using some white meat you may already have on hand!

This looks like a good versatile dish. Thanks for sharing it. We also have always hungry teen boys. Our youngest is turning 16 this month, 200 lbs and 6'1". If I don't keep easy reheats (rice dishes, pasta with meat sauce, burgers, chicken strips etc) in the fridge he fills up on crackers, cookies etc. We love love Campbells and buy it by the case so always have it on hand. Wishing you and your loved ones all the best in 2015, and continued success for your blog business as well.

That looks delish, Angie. As it turns out, I am roasting a bonus turkey today – my son received it at work. So, a few good ways to use up turkey will be what I'm looking for – I think this will do nicely!
