Chicken Pot Pie Noodle Skillet

 


How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Noodle Skillet

1. Cook the Noodles

  • Boil the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente.

  • Drain and set aside.

2. Sauté Aromatics

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.

  • Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking for about 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

3. Add the Veggies

  • Stir in the peas and carrots and cook for another 2 minutes until warmed through.

4. Make a Roux

  • Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and stir constantly for 1–2 minutes to create a roux. This step helps thicken your sauce later.

5. Pour in Liquids

  • Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream, making sure there are no lumps.

  • Stir in the Italian seasoning and season with salt and pepper.

6. Simmer and Thicken

  • Let the sauce gently simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

7. Combine Chicken and Noodles

  • Add the cooked egg noodles and diced chicken to the skillet.

  • Toss gently until everything is well coated in the creamy sauce.

8. Finish Cooking

  • Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the chicken is warmed through and the sauce reaches your desired thickness.

9. Serve and Enjoy

  • Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

  • Garnish with chopped parsley or a sprinkle of Parmesan if you’d like.

  • Serve hot and dig in!
