Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast, cut into small cubes
- 10 ounces (283 grams) egg noodles
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 medium sweet onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots, thawed
Liquids and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Boil egg noodles to al dente perfection according to package guidelines, then thoroughly drain and reserve for later incorporation.
- Heat butter in a spacious skillet over medium-high temperature. Introduce diced onions, minced garlic, thawed peas, and carrots into the melting butter. Sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sauté for approximately 3 minutes until onions become translucent and vegetables soften.
- Dust the vegetable mixture with all-purpose flour, stirring meticulously to ensure complete coating and integration.
- Stream chicken broth and heavy cream into the skillet, elevating heat to create a boiling environment. Immediately reduce to a gentle simmer, whisking intermittently until the sauce transforms into a luxurious, thickened consistency, roughly 5 minutes.
- Gently fold the previously drained noodles and pre-cooked chicken into the creamy vegetable sauce. Stir thoroughly to guarantee even distribution and complete heating of all components.
- Conduct a final seasoning assessment, adjusting salt and pepper levels to enhance overall flavor profile. Serve immediately while piping hot, offering a comforting and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Swap pasta types easily by using gluten-free noodles or whole wheat egg noodles for different dietary needs.
- Quickly transform the dish into a vegetarian version by replacing chicken with plant-based protein like tofu or chickpeas.
- Enhance flavor depth by adding fresh herbs like thyme or parsley during the last minute of cooking for a bright, fresh taste.
- Control sauce consistency by gradually adding cream and broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps and achieve silky smoothness.
