 Ingredients

To make this comforting skillet meal, you’ll need:

• 10 ounces egg noodles
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 sweet onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 1½ cups frozen peas and carrots, thawed
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1½ cups cooked chicken breast, cut into bite-sized cubes
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

 Step-by-Step Instructions

 Step 1: Cook the Egg Noodles

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente (tender but still slightly firm).
Drain well and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics

In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for about 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30–60 seconds, just until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 3: Add Vegetables and Seasoning

Stir in the Italian seasoning, followed by the peas and carrots.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, allowing the vegetables to heat through and absorb the flavors.

 Step 4: Make the Creamy Sauce

Sprinkle the flour evenly over the vegetable mixture. Stir continuously for about 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.

Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Next, add the heavy cream and mix until smooth.

Step 5: Simmer and Thicken

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 3–5 minutes.
Stir occasionally until the sauce thickens into a rich, creamy consistency that coats the back of a spoon.

 Step 6: Combine Everything

Add the cooked chicken and drained egg noodles into the skillet.
Gently toss everything together until evenly coated in the creamy sauce.

Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, or until everything is heated through.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this dish hot, straight from the skillet for a rustic, homey presentation.
For a finishing touch, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or a little grated Parmesan cheese.

Pair it with:

• A crisp green salad
• Steamed vegetables
• Or warm crusty bread
