Notes
Ensure the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F for safe eating. For extra flavor, add Italian herbs or lemon juice to the noodles. For a creamier texture, add a splash of heavy cream to the chicken broth while simmering. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of chicken broth or water.
