This comforting Chicken Pot Pie Noodle Skillet recipe combines tender egg noodles with a creamy mixture of sautéed onions, garlic, peas, carrots, and chunks of cooked chicken breast. The dish mimics the flavors of a classic chicken pot pie but uses a skillet for quick cooking and simple cleanup, making it perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 10 ounces egg noodles

Skillet Mixture

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium sweet onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots, thawed
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast, cut into small cubes

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté vegetables: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and thawed peas and carrots. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes until the onions become soft and translucent.
  3. Add flour: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour into the skillet and stir thoroughly to combine with the vegetables and butter. Continue stirring until no white flour patches remain, forming a roux base.
  4. Add liquids and thicken: Slowly pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and heavy cream while stirring. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Stir occasionally until the sauce thickens, approximately 5 minutes.
  5. Combine pasta and chicken: Add the drained egg noodles and cubed cooked chicken breast to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are fully coated in the creamy sauce and the chicken is evenly distributed.
  6. Season and serve: Taste the skillet mixture and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting dish.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie or leftover cooked chicken breast for convenience.
  • To make it lower fat, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, but sauce may be slightly less thick.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free option, use gluten-free noodles and substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • This recipe can be doubled easily for leftovers or feeding a larger group.
  • Adding fresh herbs like thyme or parsley at the end can enhance flavor.
