Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons Better Than Bouillon Roasted Chicken Flavor
  • 1 stick butter divided
  • 16 ounces good quality egg noodles
  • 12 Ritz crackers
  • 2 tablespoons parsley finely chopped

Instructions

Making the Buttered Noodles

  • Combine the chicken stock, water, bouillon and half of the stick of butter in a large deep skillet then cover and bring to a boil. 
  • Add the noodles then cover to bring to a boil. Uncover, reduce the heat to low and cook stirring frequently 8-10 minutes or until the noodles are tender. Keep the heat low so the liquid doesn’t evaporate too quickly. If necessary add a splash more stock if the noodles aren't tender at this point and continue cooking.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the noodles, stir well then remove from the heat. 

Ritz Cracker Crumb Topping

  • While the noodles are cooking, add the crackers to a zip top bag and crush to a crumb texture using a rolling pin or other tool.
  • In a small skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to a small skillet. Add the cracker crumbs over medium heat toasting until they're lightly browned then stir in the chopped parsley and sprinkle over the noodles and serve right away.
