What is the best dressing to use?
My personal favorite dressing is Ken’s Steakhouse Creamy Caesar. It has the best combination of flavors and is perfectly creamy. That being said, it’s like ranch…everyone has their favorite. Just use what you and your family like!
What do you serve with chicken and noodles?
You can serve this chicken and noodles dish a number of ways! In fact, you don’t have to serve it over noodles at all.
You can also serve it in a whole-wheat tortilla as a lunch wrap, or in a sandwich (I love it on a brioche bun!).
As far as sides go, grab your favorites! A pasta dish goes great with a side of toasted bread while a lunch wrap or sandwich is best paired with a salad, steamed veggies, or even some fries.
What do you do with leftover egg noodles?
If you end up with more egg noodles than you know what to do with, you may need to repurpose them. Don’t head for the trash just yet, there are a few things you can do!
You can use them for casseroles, soups, ravioli, or even turn them into muffins. Egg noodles are very versatile and can turn into so many new and interesting recipes.

I use a liner whenever I’m making anything that might get stuck on. It makes cleanup a breeze and keeps everything easy to remove! You’ll need a good metal serving spoon to get this recipe served up pretty and easily.
When it comes to Crockpots I have MANY…it’s an obsession of mine, I’m not too proud to admit. I like to have options when it comes to sizes. A nice 6 quart is useful for all kinds of recipes. You can also use a 4 quart for many recipes and these Little Dipper crockpots are perfect for dessert, fondue, and more!
Can you freeze chicken and noodles?
You sure can! I love to make this and then freeze it. It makes the ideal dump meal too. Simply prep the marinade, freeze, thaw overnight, and then dump them in the crockpot when you’re ready to begin cooking.
