A comforting and easy-to-make pasta dish that combines the flavors of chicken pot pie with al dente pasta in a creamy, velvety sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 12 ounces short pasta (penne, rotini, or bowtie), cooked al dente
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of chicken broth, followed by 1 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Stir constantly to avoid lumps.
  4. Add garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to taste. Simmer for 3-4 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
  5. Stir in cooked chicken and frozen mixed vegetables. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
  6. Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until evenly coated with the sauce.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

For a thinner sauce, add a splash of chicken broth or milk. For a thicker sauce, simmer for a few more minutes. Use leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience.
