Ingredients
  

  • Egg noodles: 12 ounces
  • Butter: 2 tablespoons
  • Large yellow onion: 1 diced
  • Garlic: 3 cloves minced
  • Frozen mixed vegetables: 1 1/2 cups thawed
  • Dried thyme: 1 teaspoon
  • All-purpose flour: 2 tablespoons
  • Chicken broth: 1 cup
  • Heavy cream: 1 cup
  • Cooked chicken breast: 2 cups shredded
  • Salt: To taste
  • Pepper: To taste
  • Fresh parsley: 2 tablespoons chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Noodles: Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions in salted water. Drain them and set aside.
  • Sauté Vegetables: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and thawed mixed vegetables to the skillet.
  • Season: Season the vegetables with dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir to combine. Cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Thicken Sauce: Stir in the all-purpose flour until the vegetables are fully coated.
  • Create Sauce: Add the chicken broth and heavy cream to the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Simmer: Stir the sauce occasionally until it has thickened to your desired consistency, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine: Add the cooked pasta and shredded chicken to the sauce mixture. Stir everything together gently to combine.
  • Finish Seasoning: Season the pasta mixture with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

Pre-shredded rotisserie chicken makes this recipe extremely fast.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water or milk to thin it out.
For a richer flavor, use full-fat heavy cream.
Any short pasta shape (like rotini or penne) can be substituted for the egg noodles.
