- Add 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour to the melted butter and whisk continuously for about 1 minute.
- Gradually pour in 2 cups of chicken broth while whisking until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken, around 2-3 minutes.
- Add 1 cup of milk to the skillet, mixing until combined and sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
- Toss in 1 cup of frozen peas and carrots and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Gently mix in 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken and simmer for another 2 minutes.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, folding them into the creamy mixture until coated.
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and season with black pepper and salt. Stir well.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
Use fresh vegetables for better flavor and texture. Leftover rotisserie chicken enhances flavor and saves time. For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and margarine. Cool completely before storing leftovers.
