Pasta
Skillet Mixture
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium sweet onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots, thawed
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast, cut into small cubes
- Cook the noodles: Boil the egg noodles according to the 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 thawed peas and carrots. Season with salt and pepper, then cook for about 3 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Add flour: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture, stirring constantly until it is fully incorporated and no white patches remain, forming a roux to thicken the sauce.
- Create the sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring continuously. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally.
- Combine pasta and chicken: Add the drained egg noodles and cubed cooked chicken breast to the skillet. Toss gently to coat everything evenly in the creamy sauce.
- Final seasoning and serve: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot and enjoy your comforting Chicken Pot Pie Noodle Skillet.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken breast; rotisserie chicken works well for convenience.
- Thaw frozen peas and carrots before cooking to ensure even cooking.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk, but the sauce will be less rich.
- Egg noodles can be substituted with other pasta shapes like rotini or penne if preferred.
- Leftovers store well refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
