Scale
Base Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 small white onion, finely diced
- 1/2 (8-ounce) container sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Broth and Seasonings
- 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
Main Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) package wide egg noodles (about 4 cups)
- 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Sauté the Aromatics: Heat the butter over medium heat in a large skillet or Dutch oven with a lid. Add the diced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes until they become just translucent. Then add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 3 minutes until lightly browned. Finally, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth and add the cream of chicken soup, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture well to combine all the ingredients evenly. This will form a flavorful base for the dish.
- Cook the Noodles: Add the wide egg noodles to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pot and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the noodles are nearly al dente. This ensures the noodles absorb the flavors and finish cooking in the next step.
- Add Chicken, Cream, and Vegetables: Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken, thawed mixed vegetables, and heavy cream. Continue cooking uncovered for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the vegetables are tender to your liking. The sauce will thicken more as it cools.
- Season and Serve: Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Let the dish cool slightly before serving to allow flavors to meld and the sauce to set.
Notes
- You can omit mushrooms if you prefer a simpler flavor or due to dietary restrictions.
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds great flavor, but you can also use cooked chicken breasts or thighs shredded at home.
- Be sure to stir the noodles occasionally while cooking to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- The dish thickens as it cools, so serve promptly for a creamier consistency or let it rest for a more set texture.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half, though the sauce will be less rich.
