Ingredients
Below, I discuss the ingredients and possible substitutions if you don't have a specific ingredient. However, if you are looking for the specific measurements of each ingredient, scroll down to the bottom of this article, just above the comments, for the printable recipe card, which includes all the ingredients and the specific amounts of each one.
- Egg noodles – You’ll need wide noodles or bow tie noodles that are cooked al dente
- Olive oil – You can use olive, avocado, or vegetable oil.
- Chicken – You can use chicken breasts, thighs, leftover chicken, or rotisserie chicken.
- Butter – I recommend using real butter, not margarine, for the best taste. In addition, I recommend using unsalted butter to better control the amount of salt in the recipe. However, salted butter would work; you may just have to reduce the salt added to the recipe.
- Onion – You can use white or yellow onions.
- Peas – If you don’t want peas, use green beans, mixed vegetables, or your favorite vegetables instead.
- Carrots – You can use diced or sliced carrots.
- Celery – Use sliced celery or diced celery.
- Garlic – I used minced garlic, but you could use garlic powder if you don’t have fresh garlic or jarred minced garlic.
- Thyme – If you don’t have the individual seasoning, you could use the Italian Seasoning blend.
- Sage – I used dried sage in this recipe.
- Salt – Use to taste. As noted above, if you use salted butter, you may want to reduce the salt you add.
- Pepper – Use to taste.
- All-purpose flour – The flour helps to thicken the sauce for the dish.
- Chicken broth or chicken stock – If you don’t have either, use water and chicken bouillon. I recommend using a low-sodium bouillon.
- Heavy cream – Use either heavy cream or half and half, which is half milk, half cream. This makes the sauce creamier.
- Parsley – Add chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
- Ritz crackers – or your favorite crackers to add some crunch.
