Pasta
- 10 ounces egg noodles
Sauce and Vegetables
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 sweet onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots, thawed
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
Protein and Seasoning
- 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast, cut into small cubes

Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Cook the egg noodles al dente according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain them well and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add the diced sweet onion, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, peas, and carrots. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Make Sauce: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir continuously to combine and cook off the raw flour taste. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream while stirring, bringing the mixture to a boil. Then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Combine and Serve: Add the drained noodles and cooked chicken cubes to the skillet with the sauce. Stir thoroughly to combine all the ingredients evenly. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve the dish hot and enjoy the creamy comfort of chicken pot pie flavors in noodle form.
