Not Your Mom's Chicken & Noodles

3 cups frozen noodles

3 cups chicken broth

veggies. I used approximately 1 cup chopped onion, 2 stalks chopped celery and 1 cup frozen peas. You could also add sliced carrots.

2 cups milk

3 tablespoons flour

salt

black pepper

2 cups cooked chicken, or more, if your family really likes chicken. Mine doesn't really, so I only used about 2 cups.

In a large pot combine noodles, broth and veggies (except the peas). I used the granules to make the broth so I started with only water in the pot, then added the chicken broth granules, then added the veggies. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or so, until noodles are the way you like them. Stir in 1 1/2 cup milk and the peas.

In a separate bowl combine the remaining milk (1/2 cup), flour, salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth. Add to noodle mixture along with diced chicken. Stir  and serve.

I waited to add the milk/flour mixture until we were ready to sit down at the table, so the noodle mixture sat on the stove on "low" for about 10 extra minutes. The noodles were fine. I love dishes that can wait on the stove until we are ready, don't you?
