Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 10 ounces egg noodles
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Produce
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots mix
Dairy
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
Protein
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
Liquids
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and frozen peas and carrots. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions become translucent and soft, about 4-5 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly, cooking for an additional minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Add Liquid: Slowly pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream while stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Continue to cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Combine and Serve: Add the drained noodles and cooked chicken into the skillet with the creamy vegetable sauce. Stir gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary. Serve the chicken pot pie noodle skillet hot for a comforting meal.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken from leftover rotisserie or boiled chicken breasts to save time.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, but the sauce will be less thick.
- Add herbs like thyme or parsley for extra flavor.
- Ensure the noodles are drained well to avoid a watery dish.
- Can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on stovetop or microwave.
