Chicken Pot Pie Noodle Skillet 🍗🍜🥧


 

Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables

  1. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5–7 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 2: Make the Sauce

  1. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  2. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form.
  3. Add the milk, cream, thyme, parsley (if using), salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 3: Combine the Ingredients

  1. Stir in the cooked chicken, peas (if using), and cooked noodles. Toss to combine and coat everything in the creamy sauce.
  2. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until heated through.

Step 4: Add Optional Toppings

  1. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the skillet, if desired, and let it melt for 1–2 minutes.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm. Pair with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
