Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups (355 ml) cooked chicken breast (cut into small cubes)
- 10 oz (283 g) egg noodles
- 1 sweet onion (diced)
- 1.5 cups (355 ml) frozen peas and carrots (thawed)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (240 ml) chicken broth
- 2 tbsps unsalted butter
- 2 tbsps all-purpose flour
- 2 tsps italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preparation: Cook egg noodles to tender perfection, drain, and set aside for later incorporation.
- Vegetable Sauté: Melt butter in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat. Introduce diced onions, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, frozen peas, and sliced carrots. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until onions become translucent and aromatic.
- Sauce Creation: Dust flour evenly over the vegetable medley, stirring to coat completely. Gradually pour chicken broth and heavy cream into the skillet, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer 4-5 minutes until sauce transforms into a silky, rich consistency.
- Final Assembly: Gently incorporate cooked egg noodles and pre-cooked chicken breast cubes. Stir thoroughly, ensuring even heating and complete sauce coating. The mixture should be creamy, uniform, and piping hot.
- Serving: Transfer the skillet directly to the table, allowing diners to serve themselves this comforting one-pan culinary creation immediately.
Notes
- Perfectly Time Vegetables: Sauté vegetables precisely 3-4 minutes to maintain crisp texture and prevent overcooking, ensuring vibrant colors and optimal flavor retention.
- Prevent Sauce Lumps: Whisk chicken broth and cream slowly and consistently to create smooth, clump-free sauce that coats ingredients evenly and delivers luxurious consistency.
- Select Quality Chicken: Use freshly cooked, tender chicken breast cubes for maximum protein and flavor, avoiding dry or stringy meat that can compromise dish’s overall enjoyment.
- One-Pan Magic: Embrace the skillet’s convenience by serving directly from cooking vessel, minimizing dish cleanup and maintaining warm temperature for immediate serving.
