Step 2
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot butter until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Place flour, milk, and half-and-half in a jar with a lid and shake until flour has smoothly mixed with milk and half-and-half. Pour mixture into skillet and whisk until smooth and thick, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually whisk chicken broth into sauce and bring to a simmer, whisking constantly. Stir cooked chicken and sour cream into sauce, season with salt and black pepper, and mix with cooked noodles to serve.

This was Ok and my family ate it the first time I made it. The second time I added flour to the onions/butter to make a roux and then slowly added chicken broth to make a gravy. Added a splash of heavy cream and the consistency was much better than the original recipe. Read More

I boiled my own chicken and used that stock. Added a few cloves of garlic and dry minced onion to the pot once it started to boil. After that I followed the recipe but did not use all of the noodles called for - added more chicken instead. It was DELICIOUS! And made enough to freeze for a later meal. Read More

This was really good. It needed about 1/2 Tablespoon of kosher salt 1/2 teas of pepper and something else.... so I added about 1/2 teas of Bouquet Garni. Perfect! I'll make it again soon. Undercook the noodles a bit just like she said. Read More

I've made this a handful of times and it's always a hit. I usually stick with the rotisserie chicken. Tonight I did add a little celery in with the onions and I seasoned with a 1/2 tsp of tumeric. I also used white ground pepper. My family definitely prefers when I use the frozen egg noodles over the dried egg noodles. I have to agree. The sour cream really takes it over the top. Read More

Did not put the amount of chicken broth called for, about 16 oz. is what I used. Did not have half 'n'half so made my own with 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup evaporated canned milk and mixed together. After made, I had more than I needed so will have left overs for the next couple of days. Also added 1/2 can peas as my husbands favorite. Very tasty and will make again. Read More

Great recipe didn't have half and half so I used 2% milk and it was fine. The sauce is to die for never had chicken and noodles like this before. Next time I would add some cooked vegetables. This is a keeper. Read More

I swear I was going to follow this recipe to the tsp. But when I discovered I had no egg noodles I thought I would use fettuccine instead... than realized I didn't have enough fettuccine, so I added in some angel hair pasta. I was also hoping to add frozen broccoli, carrots, cauliflower mix and was out of those. Last minute I added a handful of fresh spinach. The sauce is very rich and wonderful. Once done I added some fresh Parmesan and it was perfect. I will definitely make this again and add different veggies to the mix, but the basic recipe would be perfect all by itself. This is a keeper! Read More

This is very good! I followed recipe exactly but used chicken breasts instead of rotisserie chicken. It was very tasty and my 3 teenage kids gobbled it up. The recipe says to season with salt and pepper at the end. I think next time I will add 1/2-1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper while it's cooking. That's the only change I would make! Thanks! Read More
