A comforting and creamy chicken pot pie pasta dish, combining classic flavors with a convenient pasta format.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup frozen corn
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 ounces rotini pasta
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cold water
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
- Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in chicken broth, milk, heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- Add rotini pasta to the pot. Cook according to package directions until al dente, stirring occasionally.
- While the pasta cooks, whisk together flour and cold water in a small bowl until smooth to create a slurry.
- Once pasta is cooked, return the cooked chicken to the pot. Stir in frozen peas and corn.
- Slowly pour the flour slurry into the simmering pot, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring, until heated through. Serve hot.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use chicken thighs instead of breasts.
- Adjust the amount of milk and cream to achieve your preferred sauce consistency.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
