6 Servings
Ingredients
- 10 oz egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium sweet onion finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 ½ cups frozen peas and carrots thawed
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups cooked chicken breast diced
Instructions
Prepare the Egg Noodles
- Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain thoroughly and set aside.
Sauté Vegetables
- In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the diced sweet onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, approximately 2 minutes. Stir in the thawed peas and carrots, seasoning with kosher salt and black pepper.
Create the Roux
- Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the sautéed vegetables. Stir continuously to ensure the flour is well incorporated with the butter, forming a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, avoiding any browning.
Prepare the Cream Sauce
- Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Add the heavy cream and increase the heat slightly to bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and allow the sauce to thicken, about 4-5 minutes.
Combine Ingredients
- Add the cooked egg noodles and diced chicken to the skillet, ensuring they are fully coated in the creamy sauce. Stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.
Serve Immediately
- Serve the dish warm, garnished as desired, and enjoy its rich and comforting flavors.
