Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 10 ounces noodles (egg noodles recommended)
Liquids and Fats
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and frozen peas and carrots. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are softened and the vegetables are heated through, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the flour, mixing well to coat the vegetables and create a roux base for the sauce.
- Add Liquid: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Let the sauce thicken for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Combine and Serve: Add the cooked noodles and chicken to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot directly from the skillet for a hearty, comforting meal.
Notes
- Use egg noodles for the best texture and flavor.
- Leftover cooked chicken works perfectly in this recipe, making it easy to use what you have on hand.
- You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version, but the sauce will be less rich.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or celery to customize your pot pie skillet.
- To make this dish gluten-free, use gluten-free flour and noodles.
