Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • - 10 ounces egg noodles
  • - 2-4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • - 1 medium to large onion diced/chopped
  • - 2 cloves garlic minced
  • - 1 1/2 to 3/4 cups frozen peas and carrots thawed
  • - 2 medium carrots peeled and diced (optional)
  • - 1-2 stalks celery sliced/diced (optional)
  • - 2-3 cups cooked chicken breast/thighs cut into small cubes
  • - 2-3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • - 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • - 1 cup heavy cream/whole milk
  • - Salt and pepper to taste
  • - Dried thyme and sage for seasoning optional

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions
  • Start by cooking the egg noodles according to the package directions until they're al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium to medium-high heat. Once melted, add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and sliced celery (if using). Sauté the mixture until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir well to create a base for the sauce. Cook for an additional minute to remove the raw flour taste.
  • Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream (or whole milk), bringing the mixture to a simmer. Continue to stir until the sauce thickens, which should take about 5 minutes.
  • Once the sauce has thickened, add the cooked chicken, thawed peas and carrots, and drained noodles to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and any additional herbs like thyme or sage to taste. Serve hot, and enjoy!
  • Extra Tips
  • For a richer flavor, consider using leftover roasted chicken or rotisserie chicken.
  • You can also experiment with different pasta shapes such as penne or bowtie for a fun twist.
  • If you prefer a lighter dish, substitute heavy cream with whole milk or a combination of milk and broth.
  • Don't hesitate to adjust the seasoning to suit your taste, and feel free to add other vegetables like corn or green beans for added nutrition and flavor.
  • This dish combines classic chicken pot pie flavors in a quick noodle dish, making it a family-friendly meal that everyone can enjoy.
