Smoky leftover chicken, tender noodles, mushrooms, and peas come together in a creamy garlic-Parmesan sauce for an easy comfort-food dinner. Greek yogurt and a little sour cream keep the sauce rich and creamy without making it overly heavy, making this a great second meal for leftover smoked or rotisserie chicken.
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked smoked or rotisserie chicken, chopped or shredded
- 8 oz gluten-free pasta or egg-style noodles
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon jarred minced garlic)
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon House AP Seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, optional
Instructions
- Cook the noodles according to package directions and drain.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the mushrooms and onion for 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, chicken broth, House AP Seasoning, chicken, and peas and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt, sour cream, Parmesan, and black pepper.
- Add the cooked noodles, stir everything together, and serve warm.
Notes & Tips
- Smoked chicken is especially good in this recipe because the smoky flavor carries through the creamy sauce.
- Rotisserie chicken works just as well when smoked chicken is not available.
- Remove the skillet from direct heat before adding the Greek yogurt and sour cream to help keep the sauce smooth.
- Add a splash of chicken broth if the sauce becomes thicker than you like.
- Spinach can be substituted for the peas or added along with them.
- For a little extra flavor, add crushed red pepper flakes or additional Parmesan before serving.
- Verify that the noodles and packaged ingredients are certified gluten-free if needed.
- Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days and reheat gently.
