Ingredients

12 ounces egg noodles
2 tablespoons butter
1 large yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1½ cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and thawed mixed vegetables. Season with dried thyme, about ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
Step 3: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture and stir to coat evenly. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly. Let the sauce simmer and thicken for about 5 minutes.
Step 4: Add the cooked noodles and shredded chicken back to the skillet. Stir well to combine and coat everything in the creamy sauce. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Step 5: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving for a burst of color and freshness.

Tips & Variations

Use cooked rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor.
Swap mixed vegetables for fresh peas, carrots, and corn for a fresher taste.
For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top before serving for extra richness.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, warm gently in the microwave or on the stove, adding a splash of chicken broth or cream to restore the creamy sauce’s consistency.
