Chicken and Vegetables
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 1 tbsp finely chopped garlic
- 12 oz frozen assorted vegetables
- 2 tbsp butter
Seasonings and Sauce
- 1 tbsp chicken bouillon granules
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and ground black pepper, as needed
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup milk
Pasta
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until just al dente. Drain the noodles and set aside to keep warm.
- Sauté Onion and Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-4 minutes until it begins to soften. Add the chicken chunks to the skillet, then season with chicken bouillon granules, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly with the seasonings.
- Add Vegetables and Garlic: When the chicken is almost cooked through, stir in the frozen assorted vegetables. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to heat through and become tender. Add the chopped garlic and cook for 30-45 seconds until fragrant, ensuring the garlic does not burn to keep maximum flavor.
- Prepare the Sauce: Stir in the condensed cream of chicken soup, condensed cream of mushroom soup, and milk. Mix everything until fully combined. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and is heated through. Turn off the heat.
- Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained egg noodles to the skillet with the creamy chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce. Serve hot and enjoy your quick chicken pot pie pasta!
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor and add it towards the end of cooking to prevent burning.
- Frozen mixed vegetables can include carrots, peas, corn, and green beans, but feel free to customize based on what you have.
- You can substitute the condensed soups with homemade béchamel or cream sauces if preferred.
- This dish reheats well and is great for leftovers.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper, as the bouillon and soups add seasoning.
