06 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt (split).
07 - 1 yellow onion, medium-sized, chopped.

09 - 4 minced garlic cloves.
10 - 10-12 oz frozen combo of carrots and peas.
11 - 8 oz can of drained corn kernels.
12 - 2 tablespoons of flour.
13 - A couple of cups of low-salt chicken broth.
14 - 1 cup heavy cream for whipping.
15 - 1 teaspoon parsley flakes, dried.
16 - ½ teaspoon black pepper.
17 - ½ teaspoon dry thyme.
18 - ¼ teaspoon powdered onion.
19 - ¼ teaspoon garlic powder.
20 - ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika.
21 - ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg (ground).

# Instructions:

01 - Cook noodles in salted water until soft (see package). Drain and toss them with olive oil so they don’t stick.
02 - In a pan, warm 1 tablespoon of both butter and olive oil on medium. Cook chicken with a sprinkle of Italian seasoning and salt. Stir until the chicken is golden and done, about 4 minutes. Set aside.
03 - Using the same pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté celery and onion for 3-5 minutes. Add garlic for 30 seconds, then toss in the frozen veggies.
04 - Sprinkle flour over the veggies and mix well. Gradually add chicken broth and cream, stirring constantly. Sprinkle in the seasonings, bring to a boil, then lower to simmer. Cook until creamy, about 5 minutes.
05 - Finally, fold in the noodles and cooked chicken so it’s all blended. Serve warm with some fresh black pepper on top.

# Notes:

02 - Combines a pasta favorite with the comfort of pot pie.
03 - The sauce is ready when it sticks to your spoon slightly.
