Ingredients
Scale
Chicken 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
Seasonings and Sauces
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp chicken bouillon granules
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and ground black pepper, as needed
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup milk
Pasta
- 12 oz egg noodles
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and finely chopped garlic, sautéing until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken chunks to the pot. Season with salt, ground black pepper, and paprika. Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until browned and no longer pink inside, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the frozen assorted vegetables and cook for 5 minutes until they begin to soften, incorporating the flavors well.
- Mix Soups and Milk: Pour in the condensed cream of mushroom soup, condensed cream of chicken soup, and milk. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients into a creamy sauce. Allow the mixture to heat through for 3-4 minutes on medium-low heat.
- Cook Pasta: In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, typically 7-9 minutes, until al dente. Drain the noodles well.
- Combine and Serve: Add the drained noodles to the pot with the creamy chicken and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to fully coat the noodles with the sauce. Serve the dish warm immediately, savoring the rich, comforting flavors.
Notes
- You can substitute the frozen vegetables with fresh vegetables like peas, carrots, and green beans for a fresher taste.
- Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper according to your preference.
- For a thicker sauce, reduce the milk to 1/3 cup or simmer the sauce slightly longer before adding noodles.
- Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop or in a microwave to preserve the creamy texture.
