Protein & Pasta
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 8 ounces wide egg noodles
Vegetables
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn
Dairy & Fats
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Liquids & Seasonings
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Cook the egg noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the wide egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Create the roux: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, stirring well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Make the sauce: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add thyme, sage, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Combine chicken and vegetables: Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen peas, and frozen corn. Cook for 3-4 minutes until everything is heated through and vegetables are tender.
- Add noodles: Toss the cooked egg noodles into the skillet, mixing gently to combine with the creamy chicken and vegetable sauce.
- Finish with cheese and herbs: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley until well incorporated.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken to save time.
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
- Frozen peas and corn can be replaced with fresh or canned, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, cook it a bit longer or add a little more flour to create a thicker roux.
- This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or crusty bread.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat on the stove or microwave.
