Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.5 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
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, optional garnish

Equipment

  • Large pot for pasta
  • Large heavy-bottomed skillet
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • whisk

Method
 

  1. Cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion, minced garlic, and mixed vegetables. Season with thyme, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook until onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the veggie mixture and stir until everything is coated. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Keep stirring and let simmer until thick and creamy, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add cooked noodles and shredded chicken to the pan. Stir everything together until well coated in sauce.
  6. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for color and fresh flavor. Serve immediately.

Notes

Perfect for using leftover rotisserie chicken. Can substitute half & half for heavy cream for lighter version. Thaw frozen vegetables before using for best results. Fresh thyme can replace dried (use 1 tablespoon fresh). Add splash of pasta water if sauce gets too thick. Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 5 days. Not recommended for freezing.
