Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs Can use a mix of both.
- 12 oz Egg noodles or short pasta Gluten-free pasta works; check cooking time.
- 2 cups Frozen mixed vegetables (peas and carrots recommended) Can substitute with corn or green beans.
- 4 cups Low-sodium chicken broth Regular broth can be used; adjust salt to taste.
Instructions
Cooking
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine chicken, egg noodles, mixed vegetables, and chicken broth.
- Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
- Cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and noodles are tender.
- If the broth level is low, add more water or broth as needed.
- For creaminess, lower heat and stir in a splash of milk or yogurt for an additional 2–3 minutes (optional).
- Serve hot, topped with black pepper and optional cheese.
Notes
For make-ahead, chop chicken earlier or cook and store the full dish. Leftovers in an airtight container last 3-4 days.
