Ingredients
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
8 oz wide egg noodles
1 cup sliced carrots
1 cup frozen peas
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook egg noodles until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add carrots and sauté for 5–6 minutes until slightly softened.
3. Stir in peas and cook for another 2 minutes.
4. Add cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and simmer for 3–4 minutes until smooth and heated through.
5. Add cooked chicken and noodles to the skillet. Stir gently to combine and coat with the sauce.
6. Simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes until everything is warmed through and the sauce thickens slightly.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
8. Serve hot, optionally topped with fresh cracked pepper or parsley.
Notes
Slightly undercook your noodles so they don’t get mushy when added to the sauce.
If the sauce becomes too thick, stir in a splash of chicken broth or milk before serving.
For extra richness, stir in ½ cup shredded cheese just before serving.
