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 well to coat. 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 to the skillet. Stir everything together until evenly coated with the creamy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 5: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a fresh flavor and attractive presentation before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, try adding a splash of white wine to the sauce before simmering.
Substitute mixed vegetables with fresh peas, carrots, and corn if preferred.
Use leftover roasted chicken or rotisserie chicken to save time.
If you want a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.

Storage

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