Description
A hearty and comforting chicken noodle skillet dish filled with tender chicken, vegetables, and egg noodles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1–1 ½ pounds raw chicken thighs or breasts
- 2–3 teaspoons chicken rub or seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½–1 cup diced onions
- ½–1 cup diced carrots
- ½–1 cup diced celery
- 1 cup peas (I used frozen)
- 3–4 garlic cloves (minced)
- ¼ cup flour
- 6 oz egg noodles (This was 3 cups for me)
- 3 cups broth (chicken or vegetable)
- ¾ cup milk (Any milk will work; heavy whipping cream and half-and-half also work great)
- Cooked biscuits (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a skillet on medium heat and add the olive oil and diced chicken along with the spices.
- Cook the chicken for a few minutes until it’s cooked through and no longer pink. Add the carrots, onions, celery, garlic, and peas. Sauté until the onions and garlic are translucent and fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour throughout the pan and stir. Add the flour in stages to prevent clumping and over-drying.
- Add the broth to the pan and stir. Mix well until everything is combined and the flour is fully incorporated. The mixture will thicken.
- Add the egg noodles and 1-2 teaspoons of chicken rub seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Ensure the noodles are submerged in liquid. Add additional broth or water if needed. This is important for the noodles to soften.
- Adjust the heat on the pan to low. Place the lid on the pan and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the noodles soften. Remove the lid and stir every 4-5 minutes to prevent scorching at the bottom of the pan. If the dish appears dry add more broth or water and stir.
- Once the noodles have softened, remove the lid and add the milk. Stir until combined. Taste repeatedly and make adjustments to the spices to suit your taste. This is important because once the noodles have cooked, the flavor can taste a little bland.
- Pair with optional biscuits.
Notes
- This recipe is highly adaptable; feel free to add more vegetables or adjust the seasonings to your liking.
- This dish pairs well with freshly baked biscuits for a comforting meal.
