Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup carrots, diced
• 1 cup celery, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 cups egg noodles
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• ½ tsp black pepper, or to taste
• ½ tsp salt, or to taste
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

1. Cook the Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
2. Make the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
3. Add Seasonings and Chicken: Stir in the thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the cooked chicken and frozen peas to the skillet, mixing well.
4. Cook the Noodles: Add the egg noodles to the skillet and stir to combine. Cover the skillet and let simmer for 8–10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
5. Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

• Substitutions: Use rotisserie chicken or leftover turkey as an easy substitute for cooked chicken.
• Vegetarian Option: Replace the chicken with mushrooms and double the peas and carrots for a vegetarian version.
• Make Ahead: This dish reheats well. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Thicker Sauce: For a thicker sauce, mix 1 tbsp of cornstarch with 2 tbsp of water and stir it into the skillet during step 3.
• Cheesy Twist: Add ½ cup of shredded cheese to the sauce for an extra creamy, cheesy flavor.
