Here's my favorite cozy chicken dinner hack. Imagine that savory pot pie taste you crave, all melted into silky egg noodles with a creamy feel. This is what I whip up when I want comfort food fast, without fussing over dough. My crew can't get enough of it—it's our most loved dish for chilly evenings.

Why You'll Love This Dish

All those classic chicken pot pie vibes, just way easier for weeknights. Every noodle gets coated in that luscious sauce, while the chicken and veggies make every bite taste like a hug. Plus, I bet most of what you need is already in your pantry or fridge.

What You'll Need

  • Seasonings: Go with salt and pepper, maybe toss in whatever dried herbs you have.
  • Heavy cream: Gives it that rich, dreamy texture.
  • Chicken stock: I like using low salt so you get to decide how salty things get.
  • Flour: Helps your sauce get that nice, thick consistency.
  • Corn: Sweet kernels make the whole dish sing.
  • Frozen peas and carrots: Seriously such a time saver—just dump them in!
  • Garlic: Fresh is best, but pre-chopped garlic still gets the job done.
  • Celery: That hint of classic flavor just wouldn't be the same without it.
  • Onion: I like a yellow one for that mellow sweetness.
  • Olive oil: Just a touch keeps your butter from getting too brown.
  • Butter: Pick unsalted so you stay in charge of the flavor.
  • Chicken: Chop it into bite-sized chunks for quick, even cooking.
  • Egg noodles: These thick noodles really grab onto the sauce.

Let's Make It

Step 5: Let Everything Mingle
Dump the chicken and noodles in with your sauce, then let them soak up that goodness. If it looks thick, stir in a little of the pasta water you saved.
Step 4: Time to Get Creamy
Dust everything with flour, let it cook a bit, then slowly pour in your stock and cream. Keep stirring until it thickens and looks deliciously smooth.
Step 3: Build Up the Flavors
In the same skillet, sauté onion, celery, and that garlic until your kitchen smells fantastic. Toss in those peas and carrots—let 'em heat up fast.
Step 2: Sear the Chicken
Melt your butter with olive oil in a big skillet. Sauté the chicken till golden and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Set it aside for later.
Step 1: Boil the Noodles
Generously salt your water, bring it to a boil, and cook egg noodles till just tender. Scoop out a mug of cooking water before draining.

Fun Twists to Try

  • Lighten Up: Switch out the heavy cream for evaporated milk—still velvety, just less rich.
  • Golden Top: Spread it all in a baking dish, pile on cheese and bread crumbs, then broil until crisp.
  • Say Cheese: Stir in some shredded cheddar for a melty upgrade.
  • Veggie Power: Throw in baby spinach or mushrooms for more color and flavor.
  • Chicken Swap: Chicken thighs bring a whole new level of juiciness if you're feeling it.

Save the Rest for Later

  • Freezing: Portion leftovers into containers and freeze up to 2 months for fuss-free meals.
  • Reheating: Pour in a splash of stock or cream when you warm it up so the sauce stays silky.
  • In the Fridge: Store in an airtight box and it'll stay tasty for about five days.

My Top Simple Tricks

  • Get Everything Ready: Chop, dice, and measure before you even turn on the stove. Makes the whole process way smoother.
  • Pasta Water Does Wonders: That starchy water makes it easy to fix a sauce that's too thick.
  • Let the Flour Cook: Give the flour a minute in the pan or your sauce might taste weirdly raw.
  • Don't Overcrowd: Brown your chicken in batches so each piece gets nice color.
  • Noodles Need Love: Boil them just to al dente since they'll keep soaking up sauce later.

Serving Suggestions

Add a cool, crunchy salad on the side for a fresh bite. Grab some warm bread to scoop up that extra creamy sauce. If you like, a glass of crisp white wine makes any weeknight dinner feel fancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I switch out egg noodles for another type of pasta?
Sure! Try fusilli, penne, or something similar. Just make sure to slightly undercook them since they'll cook a little more in the sauce.
→ How can I keep the cream sauce from getting too thick?
Stir the sauce while it simmers. If it thickens too much, just mix in a small amount of chicken broth to thin it out.
→ Would rotisserie chicken work for this?
Absolutely! Shredded rotisserie chicken is a great time saver. Skip the chicken-cooking part and toss it in near the end.
→ Is it okay to use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?
Of course! Just cook them until they soften before adding flour and liquids. Adjust cooking time as needed.
→ What's the best way to keep leftovers tasty?
Store in an airtight jar in the fridge. Reheat slowly on the stove or in the microwave, adding a little cream or broth if needed to refresh the sauce.

Instructions

Step 01

Cook egg noodles in salty water the way the package says. Drain them, then stir in olive oil so they don’t clump together.

Step 02

Melt a tablespoon of butter with some olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the chicken with seasoning and salt, then cook for about 4-5 minutes until it’s golden. Move it onto a plate.

Step 03

Use the same pan to melt 2 tbsp butter. Sauté the onion and celery for 3-5 minutes. Add garlic, cook briefly for 30 seconds, then stir in the frozen veggies.

Step 04

Sprinkle flour over the veggies and mix it in. Slowly stir in broth plus cream until combined. Throw in seasonings, boil it briefly, and then simmer for 5 minutes to thicken it up.

Step 05

Add the cooked chicken and noodles back into the sauce. Give it a good stir, then serve hot with a pinch of black pepper.
