  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 1x

Description

A comforting and easy one-pan meal combining tender chicken, egg noodles, creamy sauce, and melted cheese, all cooked together in a skillet for a delicious chicken noodle casserole.


Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
8 ounces wide egg noodles
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt


Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and whole milk, then stir to combine.
Add the egg noodles to the skillet, making sure they are submerged in the liquid.
Sprinkle in the dried thyme, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper, then stir well.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet.
Simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Stir in the cooked chicken and thawed peas until evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the top of the skillet.
Cover the skillet again and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from heat and let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving.
