When you hear “chicken and noodles,” you’re probably picturing a steaming pot of chicken noodle soup. However, Amish chicken and noodles are more akin to a stovetop noodle casserole than a soup dish. In fact, you’re likely to find it served atop a mound of mashed potatoes.

Wondering what exactly makes it Amish? The name is a nod to its simple, easy-to-find ingredients and cooking method that doesn’t call for any electronic kitchen contraptions.
