Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast or thighs

Pasta

  • 8 ounces penne or rotini pasta

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • 1/2 cup peas
  • 1/2 cup corn
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or milk

Herbs and Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon fresh or dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon fresh or dried sage
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables: If your chicken is not pre-cooked, cook and shred it first. While the chicken finishes, sauté diced onions, garlic, carrots, peas, and corn in butter over medium heat until tender and fragrant.
  2. Make the Roux and Creamy Sauce: In the same pan, melt butter and whisk in flour until smooth to form a roux. Gradually pour in chicken broth followed by heavy cream or milk, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens to a velvety consistency.
  3. Cook Pasta: Boil pasta according to package instructions until just al dente, then drain thoroughly.
  4. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta and shredded chicken into the sauce along with the sautéed vegetables. Stir gently to evenly coat all ingredients in the creamy sauce.
  5. Season and Simmer: Add thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Simmer the mixture for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to cling perfectly to the pasta.
  6. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Once heated through and saucy, serve immediately. Optionally garnish with fresh parsley or grated Parmesan.

Notes

  • Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor.
  • Cook pasta slightly under al dente since it will continue cooking in the sauce.
  • Don’t skip the roux; it’s key for the dish’s creamy, thick texture.
  • Fresh thyme and sage add authentic savory depth reminiscent of classic chicken pot pie.
  • Stir ingredients gently to avoid breaking pasta and maintain an appealing texture.
