Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 2 cups chicken broth
Sauce and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
Topping Ingredients:
- ½ cup crushed buttery crackers
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 small onion
- 2 cloves garlic
Instructions
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté one small diced onion for 2-3 minutes until translucent and fragrant. Your kitchen will start smelling delicious right away.
- Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning. The aromatics will create an incredible base flavor for your dish.
- Incorporate 2 cups shredded chicken, 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables, 2 cups chicken broth, and 1 cup milk. Stir in 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup with ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, ½ teaspoon thyme, and ½ teaspoon parsley.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer at 185°F. Your sauce should look creamy and well-combined.
- Add 8 ounces egg noodles, ensuring they’re completely covered by liquid. Press noodles down gently with a wooden spoon.
- Cover the skillet and cook at medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent noodles from sticking to the bottom.
- Mix ½ cup crushed crackers, 1 tablespoon melted butter, and ¼ cup Parmesan cheese in a separate small bowl for optional topping.
- Once noodles are tender, sprinkle cracker mixture over the skillet. The topping adds a delightful crunch to your creamy dish.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately while hot and steaming.
Notes
- Save time by using rotisserie chicken or leftover roasted chicken for quick preparation.
- Swap egg noodles with gluten-free pasta to make the dish celiac-friendly and accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Frozen mixed vegetables work perfectly, but fresh seasonal vegetables can add extra flavor and nutrition to the skillet.
- For a lighter version, replace cream of chicken soup with low-fat cream and use skim milk instead of whole milk.
