I hope you whomped Otis on the butt with the skillet!
Actually, when my kids were little, I had a fox terrier that climbed up the chair and onto the kitchen table, then proceeded to eat my 10 year old daughter's birthday cake, before she even got to see it.
We who love animals have to deal with certain issues.
Do you have any canned tuna, chicken, clams or such? Any bacon or sausage?
Those noodles will be so rich and delicious, you won't need much. Make sure you get some peas or broccoli in there too...that will add a lot of flavor.
Never fear...grandma's here!

Your incident reminds me of the film Christmas Story, the battle of the father vs. unruly bunch of canines from the neighbour!! 
Sorry I didn't want to make fun of such an urgent emergency, but I would think chicken version of stroganoff could be pretty good, too... I never tried the stroganoff itself with chicken but I cooked chicken with creamy sauces and mushrooms many times and they are always delicious... I would give it a try!

Olive, thaw the chicken in a micro with a very low setting, if you use too much power it will cook on the outside while the inside remain frozen.
Do you have some fresh veg, like some leftover of broccoli, carrots, zucchini, onions, bell peppers? If you do you can julienne them, then stir fry them and the chicken strips with evoo or butter, garlic and salt and pepper. Then toss it with the pasta... simple but a very colourful pleasant looking result, not to mention pleasant tasting!

Okay gang, the link was wrong ... the "?" after "Global" should have been a "/" - here is the correct link for the Chicken and Egg Noodle Casserole Olive is trying to make.
Now that I have seen the recipe ... if your microwave as a defrost setting use it. If not - use low power and figure on about 8-minutes per pound. You'll want to check it every 4-5 minutes and separate the pieces as they come loose from each other. Since your going to par-boil them first anyway - getting cooked a little on the outside isn't going to be a problem.
As for the soup - the way it is used I wouldn't worry. But, you could add about 1/2 milk to stretch it out.
