Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz pasta (penne, rotini, or egg noodles)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Topping:
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery; cook for 5-6 minutes until softened.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir to coat, cooking for 1 minute.
  4. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens (about 3-4 minutes).
  5. Stir in chicken, peas, thyme, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  6. Combine cooked pasta with sauce mixture and transfer to a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  7. Mix topping ingredients and sprinkle evenly over pasta. Bake for 15-20 minutes until topping is golden and crispy.
  8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Substitute rotisserie chicken for quick prep.
  • Add mushrooms or corn for extra vegetables.
  • Leftovers keep refrigerated for 3 days (reheat in oven to maintain crisp topping).
  • For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of whole milk.
