This chicken pot pie pasta has all that creamy, savory goodness you love about traditional pot pie, but comes together in just about 35 minutes! No fussy pie crust required.
Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter until foaming. Add diced onion, minced garlic, and thawed mixed vegetables. Season with thyme, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent.
Sprinkle flour over the vegetable mixture and stir constantly for 1 minute until evenly coated. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, whisking to prevent lumps. Stir and simmer for about 5 minutes until sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Add cooked noodles and shredded chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together until noodles and chicken are completely coated in creamy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken to save time. The extra flavor from the seasoned chicken enhances the overall dish.
If sauce is too thick, add chicken broth a tablespoon at a time. If too thin, simmer a few extra minutes or add another tablespoon of flour mixed with cold water.
Recipe freezes well for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in refrigerator and reheat with extra cream to restore silky texture.
