Prep Time: 20 min Cook Time: 1 hr

• 4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
• 4 bouillon cubes(or 4 tsp bouillon graduals) divided
• 1 family size can of cream of chicken soup or 2-3 regular size
• 1 can evaporated milk
• 1 medium onion chopped
• 3 celery stalks, chopped
• 3 carrots, chopped
• 1 can chicken broth(2 cups)
• 1 tsp dried parsley flakes or more or less to your tastes
• 3/4 bag(16 oz) pkg wide egg noodles or less if you like it souper

Cook chicken in water with 2 tsp(2 cubes) bouillon. Cook until done. Lay out on a plate to cool. While chicken in cooking, chop onion, celery, and grate/chop carrots. In separate large pot, combine these with water so that the veggies are swimming around a little(not just a cover) and add handful of parsley flakes and  the other 2 tsp(2 cubes) bouillon to taste. Get this cooking. When chicken in cooled enough to handle with fingers, tear up the meat with two forks, into smaller pieces, add to vegetables in the pot. Add chicken broth, evaporated milk, soup, and noodles. Adjust to desired consistency. The soup will thicken as the noodles swell. Stir occasionally as it comes to a gentle boil and simmer until vegetables are soft and noodles are done.

Yields: A big pot probably 10 servings

Some tips to help this be a quick meal. You can chop up the veggies the night before or the morning your planning to make this. Just cover and put in the fridge. You don’t have to thaw out your chicken. I didn’t and it still cooked very fast in the water. I also add everything but the noodles while the kids where napping and then just let it simmer till I was ready to add the noodles and it worked fine. My Husband had 3 servings of this and kept saying how good it was. A big score for me let me tell you. He is my food critic(a bit picky) and so when he likes something well its a winner recipe around here. I served this with my homemade white bread and a salad.
