Great flavor, but we weren’t crazy about the texture. I cooked the noodles for less time than the recipe called for…a little over 30 minutes, but they still got really mushy. If I made this again, I would cook the chicken according to the recipe, but cook the noodles separate until aldente and serve the chicken over the noodles. Also, we think the chicken would be good with dumplings or over biscuits with or without veggies. You could also thicken the sauce and serve as gravy over mashed potatoes. It is very filling.
