Ingredients Needed

For the Pasta:
8 oz pasta (like penne or rotini)
For the Chicken Mixture:
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
For the Sauce:
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup milk
Seasonings:
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Extras:
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Pasta

Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. This step sets the stage for sautéing the vegetables.
Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and sauté them until they are tender, usually about 3-5 minutes. They should be vibrant and cooked through.
Stir in the cooked chicken along with the garlic powder, onion powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix well to incorporate all the flavors.
Pour in the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and milk. Stir everything together until you achieve a creamy, uniform mixture.
Add the pasta to the skillet. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the pasta is cooked to your liking (usually around 7-10 minutes).
If you choose to add cheddar cheese, stir it in until melted and creamy. This step adds another layer of richness to the dish.
Serve your Chicken Pot Pie Pasta warm, and enjoy the comforting flavors!

Serving and Storage Tips

For presentation, serve your Chicken Pot Pie Pasta in bowls, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. This enhances both the look and flavor.

To store leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk if needed to loosen the sauce.

Helpful Notes

You can substitute the mixed vegetables with your favorite selections.
Feel free to use rotisserie chicken for a lazy shortcut.
