Ingredients

12 ounces egg noodles
2 tablespoons butter
1 large yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1½ 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

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and thawed mixed vegetables. Season with dried thyme, about ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
Step 3: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture and stir well to coat. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring continuously. Let the sauce simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Step 4: Add the cooked noodles and shredded chicken to the skillet. Stir until everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Step 5: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a burst of color and fresh flavor before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, try adding a splash of white wine to the sauce while it simmers.
Swap mixed vegetables for fresh peas, carrots, and corn for a fresher taste.
Use leftover rotisserie chicken for a quick and easy protein option.
For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, warm on the stove or microwave, adding a splash of cream or chicken broth to restore the sauce’s creamy texture.
