Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles wide
- 10- ounce mixed vegetables frozen; packaged
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 6 tablespoons butter divided, unsalted
- 1/2 cup onion diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoon thyme fresh leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried
- 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
- 1 ritz cracker crumbs sleeve
Instructions
- Cook the noodles according to the package directions, then drain well.
- Combine the vegetables, and chicken with the noodles.
- Heat the oven to 400°. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray. Pour the noodles into the pan.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a saute pan. Cook the onion and garlic for 3 minutes, then stir in the flour, salt and pepper and cook for another minute.
- Whisk in the broth, milk, heavy cream, and thyme and cook until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Stir the sauce into the noodles, then stir in half the cheese.
- Melt the remaining cheese and crush the crackers, then pour the butter over the crackers.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the noodles and spread the crackers over the cheese.
- Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until bubbly and the top has browned.
Notes
- Don't overcook the noodles: They will continue to cook in the oven, so it's best to cook them until they're al dente. This way, they won't become mushy during the baking process.
- Customize your veggies: Feel free to mix up the veggies based on what you have on hand or your family's preferences. Corn, bell peppers, or even spinach could be great additions!
- Make it crispy: For an extra crunch, add more crushed Ritz crackers on top.
- Spice it up: If you enjoy a bit of heat, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freezing: May be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw and reheat in the oven or microwave.
