Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 carrots diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 celery stalks diced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 cups egg noodles cooked

Instructions
Prepare the noodles
- Cook egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside for later mixing.
Sauté vegetables
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots and celery. Cook until softened.
Add flour
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables. Stir constantly for one minute to remove raw flour taste.
Add liquids
- Slowly pour in chicken broth and milk while stirring to avoid lumps.
Season the sauce
- Add salt, black pepper and thyme. Stir well to combine and create a creamy base.
Simmer the sauce
- Reduce heat to low. Let the sauce thicken, stirring occasionally for 3–5 minutes.
Add chicken
- Stir in shredded chicken. Mix until coated evenly with creamy sauce.
Add peas
- Add frozen peas and cook for another two minutes until heated through.
Mix in noodles
- Fold cooked egg noodles into the skillet. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
Check thickness
- If sauce is too thin, simmer uncovered for a few more minutes until creamy.
Add cheese
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top for added flavor and richness. Stir gently.
Taste and adjust
- Taste the mixture. Adjust salt or pepper as needed for balanced flavor.
Serve warm
- Spoon the chicken pot pie noodle skillet onto plates. Serve immediately while hot.
Optional garnish
- Top with chopped parsley for freshness and visual appeal.
Enjoy comfort meal
- Serve with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete, cozy dinner experience.
Notes
- Use leftover roasted chicken for convenience.
- Swap frozen peas for mixed vegetables like corn or green beans.
- Add mushrooms for an earthy flavor twist.
- Use half-and-half instead of milk for extra creaminess.
- Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top and broil for a crispy topping.
- Make a gluten-free version using gluten-free flour or cornstarch.
- Add fresh herbs like parsley or dill for freshness.
- Reduce butter for a lighter version without losing flavor.
- Prepare in advance; it reheats well for leftovers.
