Chicken Pot Pie Noodle Skillet

Step 4: Add Chicken and Peas

Once the noodles are tender, stir in the shredded chicken and peas. Add the thyme, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let everything simmer together for another 3–4 minutes so the flavors blend beautifully.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

Turn off the heat and check the consistency. The sauce should be creamy and coat the noodles well. If it’s too thick, add a splash of broth or milk; if too thin, simmer uncovered for a few minutes.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a burst of color and freshness.

Tips for Success

1. Use rotisserie chicken – saves time and adds extra flavor.
2. Don’t skip the flour step – it’s crucial for thickening the sauce.
3. Adjust seasoning at the end – the broth and chicken may already carry salt, so taste before adding more.
4. Make it extra creamy – stir in a splash of heavy cream or sprinkle shredded cheese just before serving.
