Chicken Pot Pie Noodle Skillet

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

1. Stir in the shredded or diced chicken to warm it through.
2. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to coat evenly—this will help thicken the sauce later. Cook for 1–2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Sauce

1. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
2. Add the milk or cream and continue to stir until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.
3. Season with thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4: Cook the Noodles

1. Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, but slightly undercook them—they will finish cooking in the skillet.
2. Drain the noodles and add them to the skillet, folding them gently into the creamy chicken and vegetable mixture.

Step 5: Add the Finishing Touches

1. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for 2–3 minutes until they are heated through.
2. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
3. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Scoop the Chicken Pot Pie Noodle Skillet onto plates or bowls and serve warm. Each bite delivers the comforting flavors of classic chicken pot pie without the hassle of a crust, making this dish a weeknight hero.

• Cheesy twist: Sprinkle shredded cheddar over the top and let it melt for a richer, gooey version.
• Make it gluten-free: Substitute flour with a gluten-free thickener and use gluten-free noodles.
