Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

12 ounces egg noodles

Sauce and Veggies

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
Salt and pepper, to taste (about ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper recommended)

Protein and Garnish

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
Prep the Veggies and Sauce Base: In a large heavy-bottomed skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion, minced garlic, and thawed mixed vegetables. Season with dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and veggies are heated through, about 5 minutes.
Create the Creamy Sauce: Sprinkle flour over the cooked vegetable mixture and stir to coat everything evenly. Gradually pour in chicken broth and heavy cream while stirring constantly. Allow the mixture to simmer gently until thickened and creamy, about 5 minutes.
Combine Chicken and Pasta: Add the cooked egg noodles and shredded chicken to the skillet. Stir everything together carefully until the noodles and chicken are well coated with the creamy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Finish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the dish for a burst of color and fresh flavor. Serve immediately while hot and creamy.
Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When reheating, warm gently in the microwave or on the stove with a splash of broth or cream to restore the saucy texture.

Notes

Use freshly cooked chicken or leftover roasted chicken for best flavor and convenience.
Frozen mixed vegetables can include peas, carrots, corn, and green beans but feel free to customize with your favorites.
For a thicker sauce, cook it a bit longer to reduce; for a thinner sauce, add a little more chicken broth or cream.
You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk for a lighter version, but the sauce will be less rich.
Leftovers reheat well but adding extra liquid while warming helps revive the creamy texture.
