- 1-2 tbsp Kinders The Blend (or any salt, pepper and garlic blend)
- 1 tbsp Kinders Roast Chicken Seasoning (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables and Fats
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 tbsp Salted Butter
- 2 Carrots, sliced
- 2 Celery Stalks, sliced
- 1 Yellow Onion, diced
- 3-4 Garlic Cloves, minced
Liquids and Thickener
- 4 cups Chicken Broth
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/4 cup All Purpose Flour
Herbs and Pasta
- 1/4 tsp Dried Thyme
- 1 tbsp Dried Parsley
- 12 oz Bag of Dried Egg Noodles
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts or thighs evenly with Kinders The Blend or your preferred salt, pepper, and garlic blend to prepare for cooking.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes, then chop or shred it as desired.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced celery, onions, and carrots. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook the vegetables for about 10 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Create the Roux: Stir in the all-purpose flour with the vegetables and cook for 3-4 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste, stirring constantly.
- Add Liquids and Seasonings: Gradually pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring continuously to combine and avoid lumps. Add dried thyme, dried parsley, and Kinders Roast Chicken Seasoning if using. Stir in the chopped chicken and dried egg noodles.
- Cook the Noodles and Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 8 minutes. Then reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for at least 20 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and noodles to become tender.
- Final Seasoning and Serve: Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Serve the creamy chicken and noodles hot, enjoying this comforting classic dish.
Notes
- Do not freeze this dish as the noodles become mushy when frozen.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stove, adding a splash of broth if the sauce becomes too thick.
