Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables
- In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed.
- Sauté the onions and garlic for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the carrots and bell peppers. Cook for another 3–4 minutes until they start to soften.
- Stir in the broccoli and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
The vegetables should be bright and slightly tender—not mushy.
Step 4: Cook the Noodles in the Skillet
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil.
- Add the noodles and reduce the heat to medium.
- Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the noodles absorb most of the broth and are tender (around 8–10 minutes depending on the noodle type).
Step 5: Combine and Creamy Finish
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
- Pour in the heavy cream or milk and stir everything together.
- Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and soy sauce if desired.
- Let the skillet simmer for another 2–3 minutes until everything is heated through and coated in a creamy sauce.
Step 6: Serve and Garnish
- Sprinkle fresh parsley or sliced green onions over the top for a burst of color and freshness.
- Serve hot straight from the skillet for a rustic, homey feel.
Optional Additions: For extra flavor, you can add mushrooms, peas, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top.
