Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
Starches and Vegetables:
- 2 cups egg noodles
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- ½ cup diced onions
- ½ cup diced carrots
- ½ cup diced celery
- 2 cloves garlic
Seasonings and Extras:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose 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 grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Cube 1.5 lbs chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces, then generously season with salt and pepper for robust flavor.
- Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it starts to bubble and sizzle.
- Toss ½ cup each of diced onions, carrots, and celery into the skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes until they soften and become slightly translucent.
- Crush 2 garlic cloves and add to the vegetable mixture, stirring for 30 seconds until the aroma fills your kitchen.
- Dust 2 tbsp flour over the vegetables, constantly stirring for 1 minute to create a smooth, golden roux.
- Gradually stream 1.5 cups chicken broth into the skillet, whisking carefully to prevent any lumpy spots from forming.
- Pour ½ cup heavy cream into the mixture, then sprinkle in 1 tsp each of dried thyme and rosemary, blending thoroughly.
- Nestle the seasoned chicken cubes into the sauce, simmering for 6-8 minutes until they’re almost completely cooked through.
- Introduce 2 cups egg noodles and 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet, stirring to distribute evenly.
- Cover the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes, occasionally stirring to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Take the skillet off the heat, letting it rest 2-3 minutes so the sauce can thicken and marry the flavors.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese across the top of the dish for a salty, rich finish.
- Scatter 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the skillet for a bright, fresh garnish just before serving.
Notes
- Use bite-sized chicken pieces to ensure even cooking and quick heat distribution.
- Check egg noodles for doneness by tasting a few strands, as they can quickly become mushy if overcooked.
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream and use skinless chicken breasts.
- Swap frozen vegetables with seasonal fresh veggies for added flavor and nutrition.
