Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups (170 g) cooked chicken breast (cut into small cubes)
- 10 oz (283 g) egg noodles
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (240 ml) low-sodium chicken broth
- 1.5 cups (192 g) frozen peas and carrots (previously thawed)
- 2 tbsps (30 g) unsalted butter
- 2 tbsps (16 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 medium sweet onion (finely diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Cook egg noodles according to package instructions until perfectly al dente, then drain and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high temperature, melting butter until it shimmers. Add onions, garlic, peas, and carrots, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sauté vegetables until onions become translucent and soft, approximately 3 minutes.
- Dust vegetables with flour, stirring thoroughly to create a smooth roux that will thicken the upcoming sauce.
- Pour chicken broth and heavy cream into the skillet, whisking consistently. Raise heat to achieve a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Continue stirring as the sauce transforms and condenses, about 5 minutes.
- Incorporate cooked noodles and diced chicken into the skillet, mixing carefully to ensure complete sauce coverage. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Transfer to serving dishes immediately, presenting a luxuriously creamy and comforting meal while piping hot.
Notes
- Perfectly cook noodles by testing for al dente texture, ensuring they maintain a slight bite and won’t become mushy when mixed with the creamy sauce.
- Enhance flavor depth by using rotisserie chicken or seasoning raw chicken with herbs like thyme or rosemary before adding to the skillet for extra aromatic complexity.
- Customize vegetable mix by substituting frozen vegetables with fresh seasonal produce or adding mushrooms for an earthy undertone that complements the creamy sauce.
- Create a gluten-free version by replacing all-purpose flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend, and using gluten-free egg noodles to accommodate dietary restrictions without sacrificing taste.
