Notes

  • Customizations: This recipe is highly adaptable! Substitute golden mushroom soup with cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup for a different flavor profile. Add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini for extra nutrients, or opt for low-carb pasta alternatives like zoodles or cauliflower rice.
  • Cooking Tips: For the best results, cook the chicken on low for 4-5 hours. This slow cooking method ensures the chicken becomes tender and flavorful. Avoid overcooking to maintain juicy results.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. For longer storage, freeze the chicken and sauce (without the pasta) for up to 3 months. Thaw and reheat gently with a splash of chicken broth to retain the sauce’s creamy texture.
  • Serving Suggestions: Garnish with fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese for added color and flavor. Pair with a side salad or garlic bread to round out the meal.
