Creamy Chicken Pot Pie One-Pot Pasta made with tender chicken, mixed vegetables, and a rich creamy sauce. A cozy and easy one-pot comfort meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 12 oz elbow macaroni or small shells
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter.
  2. Add diced onion and cook until softened, then stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  3. Add mixed vegetables and cook for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir continuously for 1–2 minutes to create a roux.
  5. Slowly pour in chicken broth while stirring, then add milk and heavy cream. Simmer until slightly thickened.
  6. Stir in uncooked pasta, ensuring it is mostly submerged in liquid.
  7. Cover and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender.
  8. Fold in shredded chicken and dried thyme. Season with salt and black pepper.
  9. Simmer for 2–3 more minutes until heated through. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Stir occasionally while cooking to prevent sticking.
  • Add extra broth if the sauce becomes too thick.
  • Use freshly shredded chicken for best texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat with a splash of broth or milk to restore creaminess.
