Ingredients
12 oz egg noodles
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp butter
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream (or milk)
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, celery, and carrots. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until tender.
3. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Stir to combine.
5. Simmer the sauce for 3–5 minutes to blend flavors.
6. Add frozen peas and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
7. Fold in cooked noodles and gently toss until evenly coated in sauce.
8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Serve warm with optional garnish like chopped parsley or cracked pepper.
Notes
Cook the noodles just to al dente—they’ll continue cooking in the sauce and stay firm.
Use rotisserie chicken to cut down prep time and boost flavor.
If the sauce thickens too much, loosen with a splash of broth or milk during reheating.
