Ingredients
12 oz egg noodles
2 cups cooked chicken
3 tbsp butter
1 small yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, diced
1 cup frozen peas
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp dried thyme
Instructions
1. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and carrots. Sauté until soft.
3. Sprinkle in the flour and stir continuously for about a minute to create a roux.
4. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, followed by the milk. Stir until thickened, about 4–5 minutes.
5. Stir in the cooked chicken and frozen peas. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
6. Return the noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat in the sauce.
7. Serve warm, optionally garnished with cracked pepper or fresh thyme.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken for a fast shortcut.
