Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 2 cups mixed frozen vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 8 ounces uncooked pasta (such as penne, rotini, or elbow macaroni)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
- Add chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the mixed frozen vegetables and minced garlic. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, milk, and heavy cream. Stir in thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the uncooked pasta to the pot and stir. Return the browned chicken to the pot.
- Cover the pot and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve the chicken pot pie pasta hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a thicker sauce, you can mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of cold water and stir it into the simmering sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like chopped celery or potatoes.
- You can substitute turkey or even shredded rotisserie chicken for the chicken breasts.
- This dish is a great way to use up leftover cooked chicken.
