The last time I made a regular chicken pot pie, I couldn't help but imagine the sauce coating noodles as well as all the veggies and chicken. Next time I made it, instead of pouring into crust and baking I threw some penne noodles into the pot and tossed it all together. The results were incredible - and is ready much quicker than a traditional pot pie! This chicken pot pie noodle dish is now one of my favorites!
Just a handful of simple ingredients needed to make this quick dinner:
Chicken pot penne is simple to make:
step one: boil the noodles according to package instructions until al dente (my penne took about 10 minutes)
step two: while the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil over medium high, then add the chicken and season with salt and pepper
step three: cook the chicken 5-8 minutes each side, or until fully cooked through (i covered my pan with a lid to help it cook faster)
step four: remove chicken from pan and allow to cool, chop into bite size pieces
step five: to the same pan the chicken was in, add the butter and allow to melt
step six: add the frozen veggies and cook until softened and coated with butter
step seven: sprinkle the flour and seasonings over top of the veggies and allow to cook 1-2 minutes
step eight: add the chicken broth slowly while stirring to avoid clumps forming
step nine: add the heavy cream, stir, and allow sauce to simmer until thickened, 5-10 minutes
step ten: add chicken and penne to the pot, stir to coat and cook an additional 1-2 minutes, to make sure the noodles and chicken are warmed through
This chicken pot penne taste like chicken pot pie filling tossed with noodles. Juicy chunks of chicken mixed with a blend of peas, corn, carrots, and green peas, swimming in a creamy, slightly herbed gravy-like sauce all served over penne noodles. Yeah, its comfort food at its finest.
Fresh veggies will work fine in this recipe, you will just have to make sure you cook them until they are soft before adding the flour and continuing with the recipe.
Yes, you absolutely can use leftover or pre-cooked chicken to make this recipe! To use precooked chicken, chop it up into small pieces then set aside. Skip the cooking chicking steps and go straight into melting the butter and continue with the recipe! You can aso use leftover chicken thighs, or even leftover turkey meat for this dish!

In a large pot, cook the pasta to al dente according to package instructions; drain and set aside
Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium high heat, then cook the chicken 8-10 minutes each side, or until cooked through; once cooled chop into bite sized pieces
Add the butter to the same skillet used to cook the chicken and allow to melt, then add the frozen veggies and cook until softened and coated with butter
Sprinkle the flour, garlic powder, dried thyme, bullion packet, salt, pepper and parsley over the veggies and stir to coat, allow to cook 1-2 minutes then add the chicken broth a little at a time, stirring well after each addition
Add the heavy cream, stir, and simmer for 5 minutes, or until sauce is thickened.
Add the chicken and noodles to the pan with the sauce and veggies and stir to combine. Allow to cook 2-3 minutes so that the chicken and noodles are warmed through
