- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 1 cup frozen peas
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1️⃣ Sauté the vegetables: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
2️⃣ Make the creamy base: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, stirring to coat evenly. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in thyme, salt, and black pepper.
3️⃣ Cook the noodles: Add the shredded chicken and egg noodles to the skillet. Reduce the heat, cover, and let simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and the sauce has thickened.
4️⃣ Finish the dish: Stir in the frozen peas and Parmesan cheese, cooking for about 2 more minutes until everything is heated through and the cheese is melted.
5️⃣ Serve & enjoy: Serve immediately while warm and creamy. Garnish with extra Parmesan or fresh thyme if desired!
Notes
- Make it extra rich? Swap half of the heavy cream with cream cheese for a thicker sauce.
- Vegetable swap: Feel free to add mushrooms, corn, or green beans for variety.
- Leftovers? Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of broth or milk to maintain creaminess.
- Want a crispy topping? Sprinkle crushed Ritz crackers or toasted breadcrumbs over the top for a crunchy texture!
