Make mealtimes fun with this twist on a chicken noodle dinner. Chicken fillets marinated in garlic and herbs, wrapped in egg noodles and baked until crispy!
Dinner is most definitely the meal which causes the most arguments in our house!
My fussy eater is a big fan of snacks and sharing style food, but trying to get her to sit down to a full on meal of her own is more often than not a battle.
I am working on trying to find new ways of serving basic recipes to her. I recently found a recipe for Noodle Wrapped Prawns and thought it might be fun to try out the concept, but with chicken.
If you are out of the house during the day then you could whip up the marinade either the night before or in the morning.
Come the evening all you will need to do is quickly cook the egg noodles, wrap up the chicken and then bake them for 15 minutes. Super easy!
This job might be a bit tricky for young children but older kids will love to get involved in this part of the recipe.

Make mealtimes fun with this twist on a chicken noodle dinner. Chicken fillets marinated in garlic and herbs and wrapped in egg noodles!
Ingredients
- For the marinated chicken:
- 500g / 1 lb chicken breast (cut into mini fillets)
- 100ml / ½ cup olive oil
- ½ tbsp lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped coriander
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 chicken stock cube
- pepper to taste
- For the noodles:
- 150g / 5 oz dried egg noodles
- spray oil
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade by mixing together in a large bowl the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and herbs. Crumble in the stock cube and season with pepper to taste. Add the mini chicken fillets and mix until they are full coated in the marinade. Cover and leave in the fridge for at least an hour or up to 24 hours.
- When the chicken is ready to be cooked, preheat the oven to 180c and lightly grease a tray or baking dish.
- Cook the dried egg noodles accordingly to package instructions. They should take approximately 4 minutes in boiling water. Drain and allow them to cool.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and wrap several strands of the egg noodles around each mini fillet. When all the chicken has been wrapped in the noodles, spray each one with a little oil and bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Serve immediately with stir fried or steamed veggies and a dip such as sweet chilli sauce or a basic sesame oil and soy sauce combo.

Just made this for dinner used tlpaiia instead of mahi mahi and it was SO good!! I am also a little hesitant to make seafood I grew up thinking I was allergic to it (long story) and just recently found out that I’m not, so now it’s like I’m discovering a whole new possibility. It makes it a little intimidating to cook something you aren’t even used to eating but his turned out so yummy my hubby can’t stop raving about it!Thanks!~Nataliya nataliyacoleweddings.com

Thanks Helen. I definitely need to mix it up a bit more for a our dinners. We tend to get stuck in a rut of making the same things!
