This creamy chicken noodle casserole is a comforting dish packed with flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz extra wide egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3/4 cup diced carrots
- 3/4 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
- 1 1/2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, salt generously then add the pasta. Cook until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots and the onion. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook another 30 seconds, until fragrant. Stir in the flour and cook for another minute.
- Whisk in the cream, milk, and chicken broth. Season with salt, thyme, and lemon pepper. Bring a gentle boil, then cook until it has slightly thickened, about 8 minutes.
- Once thickened, add in the chicken and peas. Cook until heated through, then stir in the pasta.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth.
- Feel free to add in other vegetables like broccoli or bell peppers.
