Remove meat from bones; discard bones. Chop chicken; set aside.

In a screw-top jar combine milk and flour; cover and shake until smooth. Stir into noodle mixture. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Stir in chopped chicken. Cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes more or until mixture is heated through. Makes 6 servings.

I've never seen frozen egg noodles, but I assume they are precooked, so you would need a much smaller amt. than 12 oz. if substituting dried noodles. Very strange that the recipe didn't give the equivalent, but thank you to the person who mentioned using 3 cups of regular noodles. The recipe sounds very good.
1/26/2012 08:53:39 AM Report AbuseI am making this tonight, but the recipe I have is in the big red cookbook. It called for 2 cups of milk and 3 tbls. of flour. It didn't thicken very much but I have left it on the stove to cook longer than just the 1-2 min. after putting everything together. Hopefully, it will thicken up so we can eat it..it is runny right now. I may have to bake it in the oven for a bit. Looks and smells yummy though.

10/4/2011 07:12:27 AM Report AbuseThis recipe in '99 BHG New Cook Book calls for: 4 cups water 3 C. wide egg noodles 2 C. milk The directions are the same, but chicken is simmered for an hour and calls for 1 1/2 milk to be added with the peas, and the remaining 1/2 milk to be combined with the flour. (recipe also calls for 1/2 C. chopped celery leaves and 2 T. snipped fresh parsley added to water for cooking chicken.)
