Ingredients

6 oz 1/2 bag wide egg noodles
3 cups chicken stock
1 tbsp butter
1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, diced
1 1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup cream or milk
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp flour

Directions

If you don’t have any cooked chicken on hand, you can start by steaming a 1/2 pound of chicken breasts. Dice once cooled.
Cook the noodles according to package directions, until tender.
Heat your cream or milk in a saucepan, and melt the butter in another.
Once the butter is melted, stir in the four and continue stirring until there are no lumps. Let the roux cook for about a minute until it deepens in color.
Gradually whisk in your warm cream or milk, as well as the broth, and continue whisking until well combined. Let the mixture come to a soft boil to thicken.
Season the sauce with salt and pepper as needed.
Pour the frozen veggies in the sauce to start thawing.
In a large serving bowl, bring together the noodles, cooked chicken, sauce, and vegetables. Mix to combine well.
Serve in the bowl or in a casserole dish and enjoy!
