Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 lb chicken breast
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Starches and Vegetables:
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
Base and Seasonings:
- 2 cups chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cube 1 lb chicken breast into uniform 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
- Coat chicken thoroughly with ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, 1 tsp dried thyme, and 1 tsp dried rosemary.
- Sear chicken in a skillet at medium-high heat (375°F) for 6-7 minutes until golden and completely cooked through.
- Transfer chicken to a clean plate and keep warm.
- Melt ¼ cup butter in the same skillet over medium heat (350°F) until completely liquefied.
- Whisk ¼ cup flour into melted butter for 2 minutes, creating a smooth blond roux.
- Stream 2 cups chicken broth into roux, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
- Pour ½ cup heavy cream into sauce, stirring until mixture thickens for 3-4 minutes.
- Mix 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables into the creamy sauce.
- Reintroduce cooked chicken to the skillet, folding gently into sauce.
- Boil 8 oz egg noodles in a separate pot for 6-8 minutes until perfectly al dente.
- Drain noodles and fold directly into chicken and sauce mixture.
- Sprinkle ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese over top and let melt for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve immediately while hot and cheese is melted.
Notes
- Create uniform chicken cubes to help them cook evenly and look professional in your final dish.
- Let your roux cook long enough to eliminate any raw flour taste, which gives the sauce a smooth, rich flavor.
- Fresh herbs make a huge difference, so consider using freshly chopped thyme and rosemary instead of dried if possible.
- Choose wide egg noodles for the best texture and to help them capture more of the delicious sauce in each bite.
