Ingredients
Scale
Proteins
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
Vegetables
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn
Liquids and Dairy
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream (optional)
Pantry Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Cook Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same pan, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and sliced celery. Cook for 5–6 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Season and Thicken: Stir in the dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook for 1 minute while stirring constantly to remove the raw flour taste.
- Add Liquids and Simmer: Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, followed by the whole milk and optional heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Combine and Heat Through: Add the cooked chicken, frozen peas, and frozen corn to the thickened sauce. Stir well to combine and heat through for a few more minutes.
- Serve: Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
