Ingredients

  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp chicken bouillon
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp freshly minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 12 oz frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 12 oz egg noodles
  • Salt and ground black pepper, for pasta water

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2 to 4 minutes until it begins to soften.
  3. Step 3: Add the chicken chunks to the skillet. Season with chicken bouillon granules, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly.
  4. Step 4: When the chicken is nearly cooked, add the frozen mixed vegetables. Cook for about 5 minutes until vegetables are tender. Then add the minced garlic and cook for 30 to 45 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Stir in the condensed cream of chicken soup, condensed cream of mushroom soup, and milk. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently until the sauce thickens slightly and is heated through. Turn off the heat.
  6. Step 6: Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet. Stir well to coat the noodles with the creamy chicken and vegetable sauce. Serve hot and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

  • Use fresh garlic for best flavor, adding it last to avoid burning.
  • Swap mixed vegetables for fresh peas, carrots, and corn for a fresher taste.
  • Add a pinch of thyme or rosemary for an herbal twist.
  • Use low-sodium soups and adjust seasoning to control salt level.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave until warmed through, adding a splash of milk if the sauce is too thick.

FAQs

Can I use leftover cooked chicken instead of raw chicken breasts?

Yes, you can use cooked chicken. Add it during the sauce step to warm it through without overcooking.

Is it possible to make this recipe dairy-free?

You can substitute dairy-free milk and use dairy-free butter or oil. Look for dairy-free condensed soups or make your own creamy sauce using a plant-based base.
