Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 12 ounces egg noodles

Sauce and Filling

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1½ cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • Salt and pepper, to taste (about ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper)

Optional Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain them well and set aside for later.
  2. Prep the Veggies and Sauce Base: In a large heavy-bottomed skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and thawed mixed vegetables. Season with dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Make the Creamy Sauce: Sprinkle the flour evenly over the vegetable mixture and stir to coat everything well. Gradually add the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly. Simmer the sauce, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a creamy consistency, approximately 5 minutes.
  4. Combine Pasta and Chicken: Add the cooked egg noodles and shredded chicken breast into the skillet. Gently stir everything together until the noodles and chicken are fully coated with the creamy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  5. Finish and Serve: For a fresh, colorful touch, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish before serving. This step enhances both flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stove; add a splash of cream or chicken broth to restore creamy texture if needed.
  • Use cooked chicken leftover from a roast or rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Feel free to substitute mixed vegetables with fresh vegetables like peas, carrots, and corn.
