Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion diced
  • 2 Carrots peeled and diced
  • 2 Celery Stalks diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 4 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
  • 1 tsp Dried Thyme
  • 8 oz Short Pasta such as egg noodles, rotini, or shells
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 cups Cooked Chicken shredded
  • 1 cup Frozen Peas and Corn
  • Salt and Black Pepper to taste
  • Fresh Parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot
  • 1 Whisk

Method
 

  1. In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until they begin to soften. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetables. Stir constantly and cook for about 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
  3. While whisking continuously, slowly pour in the chicken broth. Keep whisking to ensure no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then stir in the dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add the uncooked pasta directly to the pot. Stir well to combine, then bring back to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente.
  5. Once the pasta is cooked, turn off the heat. Stir in the heavy cream, the cooked shredded chicken, and the frozen peas and corn. Continue to stir until the chicken is heated through and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Tip 1: Using a store-bought rotisserie chicken is a great time-saver for this recipe.
Tip 2: Add a splash of milk or extra broth when reheating to loosen the sauce.
Tip 3: Do not overcook the pasta, as it will continue to soften in the hot sauce after being removed from the heat.
