Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add 1 pound of diced chicken breasts and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Remove the chicken from the pot and let it rest on a plate, keeping it warm.
- In the same pot, add 4 ounces of crimini mushrooms, ½ small diced yellow onion, 2 diced celery stalks, and 2 diced carrots. Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until they are softened and fragrant. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional minute, allowing the garlic to become aromatic and slightly golden.
- Pour in 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth and 2 cups of half-and-half into the pot. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pot while whisking the mixture together. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
- While the sauce is boiling, chop the rested chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the pot. Season the mixture with 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon dried thyme, ½ teaspoon ground sage, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, and ¼ teaspoon paprika. Stir everything well to combine the flavors.
- Once the sauce is boiling, add 8 ounces of egg noodles to the pot. Reduce the heat to low and cover, allowing the noodles to cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- After the noodles have softened, stir in 1 cup of frozen corn and 1 cup of frozen peas along with 2 tablespoons of roughly chopped fresh parsley. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are heated through and the sauce thickens.
- Remove the pot from heat and let it sit for a minute before serving. Dish out the Creamy Chicken Pot Pie Noodles into bowls, optionally topping with pie crust crumbles.

Notes
Allowing the chicken to rest after cooking helps retain its juices. Avoid overcooking the noodles as they will continue to soften in residual heat. Customize with preferred vegetables or adjust seasonings to taste.
