Ingredients You’ll Need

2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, diced
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
8 oz. egg noodles (or your favorite pasta)
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk or half-and-half
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon poultry seasoning (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Noodles

Start by cooking the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Boil them in salted water until al dente (just tender). Drain and set aside.

💡 Tip: You can cook them slightly underdone since they’ll continue cooking in the sauce later.

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics

In a large, deep skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and carrots, and cook for about 5–7 minutes, until softened and fragrant. Then stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, just until aromatic.

This creates the flavorful base for your sauce.

Step 3: Add the Chicken and Veggies

Add the shredded chicken, peas, and corn to the skillet. Stir to combine everything evenly. If you’re using leftover rotisserie chicken, this step also helps reheat and infuse it with flavor.
