Ingredients You’ll Need

12 ounces egg noodles ( or your Favourite Pasta )
2 tablespoons butter
1 large yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1½ cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish:

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

How to Make Creamy Chicken Pot Pie Pasta

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Start by cooking your egg noodles according to the package instructions until they’re al dente. Drain and set them aside—you’ll be reuniting them with the sauce shortly.

Step 2: Prep the Veggies and Sauce Base

In a large skillet (a heavy-bottomed pan works wonders here), melt the butter over medium heat. Toss in the diced onion, garlic, and thawed mixed veggies. Sprinkle in thyme, plus a little salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are soft and fragrant—about 5 minutes.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Sauce

Sprinkle flour over the veggie mix and stir to coat. Slowly pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring as the mixture thickens into a silky sauce. Give it 5 minutes to bubble into creamy perfection.

Step 4: Bring It All Together

Add the cooked noodles and shredded chicken to the skillet. Stir until everything is beautifully coated. Taste-test (chef’s perk!) and adjust salt and pepper as needed.

Step 5: Add the Finishing Touch

If you’re feeling a little fancy, sprinkle fresh parsley on top. It adds brightness and makes the dish look extra inviting.

Cooking Tips for the Perfect Pasta

Shortcut Chicken: Rotisserie chicken works perfectly if you don’t have cooked chicken on hand.
Cream Swap: Want it lighter? Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream (but trust me, the full cream version is heavenly).
Veggie Switch: Don’t love peas? Use corn, green beans, or whatever’s hiding in your freezer.

Little secret: this dish became my go-to after a family gathering where my kids polished it off faster than the mac and cheese. That’s when I knew it was a keeper!
