Last night, sick and all I made 🥘 dinner. I loosely followed the recipe and to me tasted like the insides of pot pie. The peanut gallery didn’t like the 🫛 peas and 🥕 carrots 🙄, but still ate and liked it.
I had two chicken breasts leftover from another night and had thawed chicken thighs a couple of nights before as well. I’ve been sick all week and thought I had the energy one day to cook that night and was wrong.
I cut my onions 🧅, and started them in the pan with 2 tablespoons of butter while I cut the thighs and added them as well. When I got that in the pan I added salt and pepper, mixed in and let it go. While it was getting browned I cut up the leftover breasts and kept them to the side.
I then started my water to boil for the wide eggs noodles.
I didn’t have boxes chicken broth, so with hot water and Better then Bouillon chicken and a garlic one, I made my own. Since I was making a large amount I made 2 cups. Added 1cup to the onion and thighs and cooked down halfway. Then added in about 2-3 tablespoons of Italian seasoning, mixing in well.
I added about 3-4 tablespoons of cornstarch to the remaining cup of broth, mixed it well, then added to the pan. Mixed together while it started to thicken, I added the breast meat. I then added a pint of whipping cream, mixing well.
I put alittle more salt and pepper, mixing well. Then added a bag of peas 🫛 from the freezer and some carrots 🥕 I had previously chopped and froze.
Once the noodles were done I added them, mixing to make sure all was coated.
Lastly, I brought the heat up one more time until bubbling, turned the heat off and put the lid on, letting it set for atleast 10 minutes. Lets the frozen veggies warm and the noodles to soak the sauce up. Then serve!
