Steps
Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating your delicious Chicken Pot Pie–Style Creamy Pasta:
1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
3. Add the diced carrots to the skillet and cook until they start to soften. Then, stir in the flour and cook for a few minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
4. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Add the heavy cream and dried thyme, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Once the sauce has thickened, add the shredded chicken, frozen peas, and cooked pasta. Stir well to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Simmer the mixture for a few more minutes until everything is heated through. Serve hot and enjoy your Chicken Pot Pie–Style Creamy Pasta!
