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
Dairy and Sauces
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup milk
Seasonings
- 1 tbsp chicken bouillon granules
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- salt and ground black pepper, as needed
Pasta
- Cook Egg Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until just al dente. Drain and set aside until ready to use.
- Sauté Onion and Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-4 minutes until it begins to soften. Add the chicken chunks to the skillet, then season with chicken bouillon granules, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well to coat the chicken with the seasonings.
- Add Vegetables and Garlic: When the chicken is almost cooked through, add the frozen assorted vegetables to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to heat through and become tender. Add the chopped garlic and continue to stir and cook for 30-45 seconds, just until the garlic becomes fragrant to maximize its flavor.
- Create Creamy Sauce: Add the condensed cream of chicken soup, condensed cream of mushroom soup, and milk to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables. Stir until everything is fully combined, then reduce the heat to low. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer and cook for a few minutes until heated through and slightly thickened. Turn off the heat.
- Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained egg noodles to the skillet with the creamy chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine, ensuring the noodles are fully coated in the sauce. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Use chicken bouillon granules to enhance the chicken flavor throughout the dish.
- Add garlic later in cooking to prevent burning and keep its flavor fresh.
- For extra thickness, simmer the sauce a bit longer or add a slurry of cornstarch and water.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stove or microwave.
- Feel free to substitute frozen vegetables with fresh seasonal vegetables if preferred.
