Ingredients
Scale
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- ½ yellow onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 12 ounces frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 12 ounces egg noodles
Instructions
- Cook the pasta: In a large pot, cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the chicken: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced chicken and cook 5–7 minutes, until no longer pink.
- Add aromatics: Stir in onion and garlic; cook 3–4 minutes, until onion softens and becomes fragrant.
- Add veggies and seasoning: Add frozen mixed vegetables, chicken bouillon, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook 2–3 minutes, letting the vegetables start to soften.
- Make it creamy: Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, and milk. Simmer 5–7 minutes until smooth, creamy, and bubbling.
- Combine with noodles: Add cooked noodles to the sauce mixture, stirring to coat evenly. Cook another 2–3 minutes until heated through.
- Serve: Spoon into bowls and serve hot. Garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of shredded cheese for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Consistency Control: If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of milk or chicken broth to loosen it up.
- One-Pot Option: To minimize cleanup, cook the noodles directly in the sauce just add extra broth or water to help them cook through.
- Soup Substitute: If you prefer homemade, use your own cream of chicken or mushroom soup for fresher flavor and fewer preservatives.
