Protein and Vegetables
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 1 tbsp finely chopped garlic
- 12 oz frozen assorted vegetables (e.g. carrots, peas, corn, green beans)
Seasonings and Sauces
- 1 tbsp chicken bouillon granules
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup milk
Other
- 2 tbsp butter
- 12 oz egg noodles
- Cook the Egg Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 7-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté Onions and Garlic: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir in the finely chopped garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breast chunks to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add Vegetables and Seasonings: Stir in the frozen assorted vegetables, chicken bouillon granules, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and the flavors to meld.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup, condensed cream of chicken soup, and milk. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
- Combine and Simmer: Pour the soup mixture into the skillet with the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes until heated through and slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Finish the Dish: Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and gently toss to coat evenly with the creamy sauce and ingredients. Heat for an additional 1-2 minutes to meld flavors.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve the Quick Chicken Pot Pie Pasta warm. Optionally garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh vegetables if preferred, but adjust cooking times accordingly.
- For a lower sodium version, use low-sodium soups and reduce added salt.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, reduce the milk slightly or simmer the sauce longer before adding noodles.
- Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave adding a splash of milk if needed to loosen the sauce.
