Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1.5 lbs chicken breast
Starches and Vegetables:
- 2 cups egg noodles
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- ½ cup diced onion
- ½ cup diced celery
- 2 cloves garlic
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup fresh parsley
Instructions
- Slice 1.5 lbs chicken breast into 1-inch cubes to ensure uniform cooking and even flavor distribution.
- Generously season your chicken pieces with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper for robust taste.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Transfer cooked chicken to a separate plate, keeping it warm and ready for later.
- Reduce skillet heat to medium and melt 2 tbsp butter until it shimmers.
- Add ½ cup diced onion and ½ cup diced celery, sautéing until vegetables become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Crush 2 cloves of garlic and add to the skillet, stirring for 30 seconds to release aromatic flavors.
- Dust 2 tbsp flour over the vegetables, continuously stirring for 1 minute to create a smooth roux.
- Gradually pour 1.5 cups chicken broth into the skillet, whisking constantly to prevent lumpy sauce.
- Mix in ½ cup heavy cream, 1 tsp dried thyme, and 1 tsp dried rosemary, stirring until sauce thickens within 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate 2 cups egg noodles and 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables, gently combining all ingredients.
- Return chicken to the skillet, folding carefully to distribute evenly.
- Lower heat, cover skillet, and simmer for 8-10 minutes until noodles reach perfect tenderness.
- Finely chop ¼ cup fresh parsley and sprinkle over the skillet for a bright, fresh finish.
- Serve the skillet immediately while ingredients remain hot and flavor is at its peak.
Notes
- Cut chicken into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Season chicken generously with salt and pepper before cooking for maximum flavor development.
- For a lighter version, swap heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk to reduce calories without sacrificing creaminess.
- When adding flour to create the roux, stir constantly to prevent burning and achieve a smooth, lump-free sauce base.
