Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 small white onion, finely diced
- 1/2 (8-ounce) container sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Broth & Soup Mix
- 4 cups low sodium or unsalted chicken broth
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Pasta & Protein
- 1 (8-ounce) package wide egg noodles (about 4 cups)
- 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
Finishing
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Sauté aromatics: Heat the butter over medium heat in a large skillet or Dutch oven with a lid. Add the finely diced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes until just translucent. Then add the sliced mushrooms (if using) and continue cooking for about 3 minutes until lightly browned. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add liquids and noodles: Pour in the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together to combine. Add the wide egg noodles and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Simmer noodles: Cover the pot and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring once or twice during cooking, until the noodles are nearly al dente.
- Finish with chicken and veggies: Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken, thawed mixed vegetables, and heavy cream. Cook uncovered for another 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the vegetables are tender to your liking. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Season and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired. Let the dish cool slightly before serving to allow flavors to meld and sauce to set.
Notes
- You can omit mushrooms if you prefer a simpler flavor or if someone has a mushroom allergy.
- Using rotisserie chicken saves prep time and adds rich flavor; you can also substitute cooked shredded chicken breast.
- Feel free to swap frozen mixed vegetables with fresh diced carrots, peas, or green beans depending on preference or seasonality.
- For a thicker sauce, cook uncovered a bit longer or add a slurry of cornstarch and water.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
