  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 5 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 cup celery, finely diced
  • 1 cup carrots, finely diced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 5 cups egg noodles
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Cook egg noodles according to package instructions.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken and season with seasoned salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. Cook 6-7 minutes until fully cooked. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to low. Add butter and remaining teaspoon olive oil to skillet. Once melted, add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until soft and fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir to combine. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes to form a roux.
  5. Slowly pour in chicken broth while whisking. Bring to a simmer until thickened. Season with chicken bouillon powder, salt, and black pepper.
  6. Turn off heat and stir in heavy whipping cream until fully incorporated.
  7. Add drained egg noodles and cooked chicken back to skillet. Stir until well combined. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken or chicken thighs can be substituted.
  • Dice vegetables small for even cooking.
  • If sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of chicken broth to loosen.
  • Egg noodles are traditional, but other pasta shapes work as well.
