Why Chicken Pot Pie Noodle Skillet Is a Weeknight Winner

Prep and Ingredient Tips for Best Results
To speed things along and ensure uniform veggie pieces, a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper makes prepping carrots, celery, and onions lightning-fast and consistent. If using leftover or rotisserie chicken, quickly shred it with a Chicken Shredder Tool Twist for Kitchen for tender, bite-sized pieces that integrate perfectly into the sauce.
Use a wide, deep skillet for even heating and easy stirring. For fuss-free, nonstick cooking and a creamy sauce that doesn’t stick, the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch is a solid choice.
How to Achieve Creamy Pot Pie Skillet Perfection
The soul of this dish is the creamy, savory sauce. Sauté your vegetables until just tender, then sprinkle with flour to create a roux that thickens beautifully. Stir in the chicken and noodles, then bathe everything in a rich broth and milk blend. As the noodles cook, they soak up the flavor, yielding a satisfying, fork-tender texture. Don’t forget to taste for seasoning, and consider finishing with fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for a flavor boost.
For an easy clean-up and to keep your kitchen tidy, chop veggies on Bamboo Cutting Boards for Kitchen and use Homaxy 100% Cotton Waffle Weave Kitchen Dish Cloths to wipe as you go.
