Personal Notes:
Goes well served atop rice. If having with rice, start cooking rice a tad before chicken is done cooking.

This is a great recipie to make together and many of the steps can be done simultaneously (cooking raw chicken while chopping veggies & mixing sauce, simmering chicken in sauce while celery and onions cook in butter)

I just made this last night and it was SO TASTY. I also made a double batch in a 9x13 in casserole dish, which it might be best to omit the crunchy noodles from the leftover half to prevent sogginess & add em after reheating.
