How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Pasta

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3: Simmer the Sauce

Add the frozen mixed vegetables and cook until thawed. Pour in the cream of chicken soup, milk, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 4: Cook the Noodles

Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions.

Step 5: Combine and Serve

Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the sauce and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
