Notes
Rotisserie chicken are available at most local grocery stores and big box stores like Costco and Sams.
You will only need about half of the chicken so enjoy the other half in one of my many rotisserie chicken recipes.
You can use any kind of egg noodles including Amish and frozen. You just need to cook them until they are almost tender then simply add your diced chicken and finish cooking.
If you know you are going to have leftover simplys remove that portion before adding the noodles. Then when heating the leftover soup bring it to a simmer and add the egg noodles cooking until almost tender then add the chicken and finish cooking until tender.
Freeze for up to four months but hold the pasta until ready to heat and eat. Then simply simmer over the stove and add your pasta cooking until tender.
