- Shred the chicken with forks, then stir in heavy cream and cooked egg noodles. Enjoy!
Notes
Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor and texture. For extra creaminess, consider adding more heavy cream or a bit of cream cheese. Customize by adding peas, mushrooms, or spinach, or substituting turkey or a plant-based protein.
