Chicken pot pie ingredients

• Noodles: Choose your preferred egg noodles, whether medium or wide.
• Chicken: Opt for chicken thighs for a tender result, they cook up quickly. Rotisserie or grilled chicken works well too, or you can even utilize leftovers.
• Aromatics: Essential for flavor, include onion and garlic.
• Vegetables: Conveniently use frozen peas and carrots, and consider pre-chopped carrots.
• Seasoning: Create a simple blend with salt, black pepper, cumin and dried thyme.
• Flour: To thicken the sauce, for a gluten-free option, consider cornstarch.
• Chicken Broth: Select a good-quality broth for a flavorful base.
• Half-and-half: For a richer sauce, use heavy cream.

What are egg noodles anyway?

Egg noodles are a type of pasta that are typically made from a mixture of wheat flour, water and eggs. The addition of eggs gives these noodles a richer flavor, a distinct yellow color and a slightly softer texture compared to traditional pasta made without eggs, making them well-suited for specific dishes like soups, stroganoff and other recipes where their unique characteristics complement the overall flavor and texture of the dish.

Can I use pasta instead of egg noodles?

Absolutely! Your favorite pasta will work well here. I can recommend using bow tie or fusilli as excellent alternatives.

Can I use different vegetables? 

Yes! Feel free to mix and match your favorite vegetables, using whatever you have available. Add in green beans or broccoli, or omit any veggies you’re not a fan of. The classic veggies for a chicken pot pie include carrots, green peas, celery, mushrooms or corn. It’s incredibly versatile, so get creative with your choices!

Frozen veggies and rotisserie are a great short cut.

• Using frozen veggies and rotisserie chicken is a fantastic time-saver. Grab a bag of frozen peas and carrots to streamline the process with less chopping, perfect for those busy weeknights.
• When using rotisserie chicken, cut the simmering time in half—add the chicken with the cream and simmer until heated through, saving you even more time.

How to store chicken pot pie noodles?

• Fridge: Keep in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to enjoy again, simply reheat in the microwave or on the stove until warmed through. Interestingly, this dish often tastes even better on the second day!
• Freezer: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Be mindful that frozen, thawed noodles may become a bit soft, and the dairy in the recipe might separate, altering the sauce’s taste. Keep these points in mind when freezing.
