Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces of pasta (penne or rotini)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside, drizzling with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Stir in diced carrots and cook for 5 minutes. Add cooked chicken, frozen peas, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stirring to coat. Gradually pour in chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened. Reduce heat to low, stir in heavy cream, and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and incorporated. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss gently until well coated. If too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or cream to reach desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and serve in bowls, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy your creamy chicken pot pie pasta!
Notes
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave, adding a splash of chicken broth or cream if needed.
