the pioneer woman's chicken noodle casserole recipe

Caitlin Bensel

This chicken noodle casserole checks each of the three C’s for casserole superstardom: classic, creamy, and oh so comforting. Wide egg noodles, cream of chicken soup, and a crushed butter cracker topping will take grown-ups right back to their childhood and make everyone at the table smile. Use a rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken to save time. No need to cook any veggies beforehand—they’ll soften up beautifully as the casserole bakes.

Does chicken noodle casserole freeze well?

Yes! Since the chicken is already cooked when it goes into the casserole and there’s plenty of creamy sauce, chicken noodle casserole is perfect for freezing. Freeze without the cracker topping before baking, thaw completely, then add a few minutes to the bake time to heat through.

Rich, coconutty, schmaltzy, bright, funky, and tangy, this skillet chicken dinner tantalizes the taste buds on every level. Skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs are seasoned simply with salt and lots of pepper, then cooked skin side down in a skillet until the fat renders and you’re left with perfectly crisp skin. You’ll sizzle garlic and a mountain of shallots in the leftover rich schmaltz, which will flavor the sunny yellow coconut cream and turmeric rice that cooks in the pan with the chicken thighs as the meat finishes roasting.

Since the rice cooks in the oven uncovered (gotta preserve that crispy chicken skin!), soaking it for 30 minutes before cooking is key. The soak helps the rice absorb water, kick-starting the cooking process and helping it to stay tender, not dried out and sad.

While the chicken and rice are delicious on their own, they’re really a vehicle for the season’s

The chicken was super crunchy and packed with flavour. So crunchy, in fact, that my husband and I turned up the TV so we couldn’t hear each other chew. Now that’s good chicken!

Serve this crunchy chicken breast recipe with a vegetable and a salad. I served mine with leftover fat-burning Mediterranean salad and air-fryer carrots.

The Colonel’s 11 herbs and spices are a secret guarded more closely than the most confidential CIA briefings (we’re talking armored trucks, secure briefcases, and an actual vault). A couple who apparently found a copy found out the hard way when KFC threatened to sue. But just a few years ago, this crucial element of the KFC recipe was inadvertently revealed by none other than, Joe Ledington, Harland Sanders’ own nephew.

Back in 2016, Mr Ledington was interviewed for an otherwise unremarkable travel article about the Harland Sanders Cafe & Museum.

“Ledington and I shake hands, and I tell him about the assignment that brought me to this part of southeast Kentucky,” recounted Jay Jones of the Chicago Tribune.
