🛒 Ingredients

Pasta Base

  • 2 cups pasta (penne or rotini work best)
  • Water + salt for boiling

Creamy Filling

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Flavor Builders

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  • Salt & black pepper to taste

Optional Toppings

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente.
Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Build the Sauce Base

In a large skillet or saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
Add diced onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until soft.
Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir continuously for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 3: Create the Creamy Sauce

Slowly whisk in chicken broth.
Add cream, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper.

Let simmer for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 4: Add Chicken & Vegetables

Stir in shredded chicken and mixed vegetables.
Simmer another 3 minutes until everything is heated through.

Step 5: Combine with Pasta

Add cooked pasta to the sauce.
Fold gently until well coated.

Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.

Step 6: Serve

Taste and adjust seasoning.
Garnish with parsley, extra cheese, or cracker crumbs if desired.

Serve hot and enjoy!
