Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
- 8 ounces egg noodles
Sauce:
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Garnish:
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and carrots and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Make Sauce: Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, then add the milk and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer and stir in the salt, pepper, and thyme.
- Cook Noodles: Add the uncooked egg noodles and simmer uncovered, stirring frequently, for 8–10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Finish Dish: Stir in the cooked chicken and frozen peas, and cook for 2–3 more minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken works great for this recipe.
- If you prefer a cheesier version, stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar at the end.
- You can also use frozen mixed vegetables instead of peas and carrots.
