Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 10 ounces egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

      • Dairy

      • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
      • 1 cup heavy cream

      Produce

      • 1 medium sweet onion, diced
      • 2 cloves garlic, minced
      • 1 1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots, thawed

      Protein

      • 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast, cut into small cubes

      Liquids & Seasonings

      • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
      • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
      • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Prepare the egg noodles according to the package directions until they are al dente. This ensures they maintain their texture when added to the creamy skillet dish later.
  2. Sauté vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add the diced sweet onion, minced garlic, and thawed peas and carrots. Season with coarse salt and black pepper, and cook for about 3 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent, releasing their flavors.
  3. Add flour: Stir in the all-purpose flour into the vegetable mixture, mixing well until there are no visible white patches of flour. This will help thicken the sauce.
  4. Create the sauce: Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Continue to stir occasionally as the sauce thickens, which should take around 5 minutes.
  5. Combine noodles and chicken: Drain the cooked noodles and add them to the skillet sauce along with the cubed cooked chicken breast. Toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly with the creamy sauce.
  6. Final seasoning and serve: Taste the skillet and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or pepper if desired. Serve the Chicken Pot Pie Noodle Skillet hot for a comforting and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, but the sauce may be slightly less thick.
  • Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time on cooking chicken breasts.
  • Ensure noodles are al dente so they don’t become mushy when combined with the sauce later.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of dried thyme or rosemary for an herbal twist.
  • This dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
