Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Noodles
- 10 ounces egg noodles
- 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
Vegetables and Sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Cook the egg noodles al dente according to the package directions, then 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 soften and become translucent. Then stir in the flour evenly to coat the vegetables and create a roux base.
- Add Liquid: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream into the skillet mixture and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Combine and Serve: Add the cooked noodles and the shredded or diced chicken into the skillet with the creamy vegetable sauce. Stir gently to combine and heat through. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the skillet hot for a delicious, comforting meal.
Notes
- You can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter sauce.
- Use rotisserie chicken or leftovers to speed up preparation.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or corn for more flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, increase the flour by 1 tablespoon.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stovetop.
