Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1️⃣ Sauté the vegetables:
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute, until fragrant.

2️⃣ Make the creamy sauce:
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat evenly. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add thyme, salt, and black pepper.

3️⃣ Add chicken and noodles:
Stir in the shredded cooked chicken and uncooked egg noodles. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

4️⃣ Incorporate peas and Parmesan:
Add the frozen peas and grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir until the peas are heated through and the cheese is fully melted, about 2 minutes.

5️⃣ Serve:
Serve immediately while the dish is warm and creamy. Enjoy a comforting, hearty meal in one bowl!

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute half the chicken broth with white wine.
  • Use rotisserie chicken for added convenience.
  • Fresh parsley or a pinch of nutmeg can be added for an extra flavor boost.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove.
