How to Make Creamy One-Pot Chicken Noodle Pot Pie

Step 1 Melt butter in a big pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft. Toss in mushrooms if using, then garlic. Stir often to avoid burning. (Hard-learned tip: Chop onions small so they cook fast.) Step 2 Pour in broth, soup, and spices. Whisk until smooth. Add noodles and boil. Cover and cook, stirring once or twice. Noodles should be almost done but still firm. Step 3 Mix in chicken, cream, and veggies. Cook uncovered until thick and veggies are tender. Sauce thickens more as it cools. Taste and add salt or pepper if needed. What’s the best way to store leftovers? Share below! Cook Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 30 minutes Yield: 6 servings Category: Dinner, Comfort Food

Who else loves a ready-to-go dinner?
