Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Dairy
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, diced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup milk or half-and-half
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- chopped parsley for garnish
Dry Ingredients and Seasonings
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 8 ounces egg noodles
Liquids
- 2 cups chicken broth
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the diced chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5–6 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Make the Sauce Base: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat them evenly. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk while whisking continuously to combine and prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Cook the Noodles: Add the egg noodles to the simmering sauce. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, for 8–10 minutes or until the noodles are tender and the sauce has thickened to a creamy consistency.
- Combine and Finish: Return the cooked chicken to the pan along with the frozen peas and Parmesan cheese if using. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley before serving for a fresh, bright finish.
Notes
- You can use rotisserie chicken to save time.
- Add mushrooms for an earthy twist or swap peas for green beans.
- This dish is perfect comfort food and great for leftovers.
