Ingredients
Scale
Pasta
- 12 ounces egg noodles
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1½ cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Sauce & Protein
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside for later addition.
- Prep the Veggies and Sauce: In a large heavy-bottomed skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion, minced garlic, and thawed mixed vegetables. Season with dried thyme, about ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of pepper. Cook together for about 5 minutes until onions are soft and the vegetables are heated through.
- Make the Creamy Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture and stir well until everything is coated. Gradually pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream while stirring continuously. Let the sauce simmer and thicken for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent lumps.
- Combine All Ingredients: Add the cooked egg noodles and shredded chicken breast to the skillet. Stir thoroughly to coat the pasta and chicken with the creamy sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Finish and Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top for a fresh flavor and colorful presentation.
- Storage Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, warm in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of cream or broth to restore the sauce’s silky texture.
Notes
- Fresh parsley adds a wonderful bright flavor and makes the dish visually appealing.
- Using thawed frozen mixed vegetables saves time and keeps prep quick.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a little more flour; for a thinner sauce, add more broth or cream.
- Leftovers reheat well and make excellent next-day meals.
