Ingredients
12 ounces pasta (egg noodles or penne recommended)
1 pound cooked chicken, shredded or diced
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup whole milk or half-and-half
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen corn
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook just shy of al dente—about 2 minutes less than package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté your aromatics: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until translucent and fragrant—about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook another 30 seconds.
- Make the roux: Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic; stir constantly for 1-2 minutes.
- Build the creamy sauce: Slowly whisk in chicken broth until smooth. Add the milk, stirring gently as the sauce thickens—around 5 minutes.
- Bring in the veggies and herbs: Toss in the frozen peas, corn, and dried thyme. Cook until peas are tender and corn is warmed through, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine with chicken and pasta: Add the shredded chicken and cooked pasta to the sauce. Stir everything together and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy: Spoon the chicken pot pie pasta into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
