This creamy one pot chicken and noodles dinner is almost like eating a perfect chicken pot pie, but without the fuss. It is quick, easy and there is only one pot to clean when you are done. Feed your hungry family a filling and delicious dinner without any hassle. It is sure to fill them up and make them smile.
Put oil in the bottom of the dutch oven and heat over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until the chicken is browned. It’s ok if it isn’t cooked all the way through yet.
Add the onion and garlic powder, continue to cook and stir occasionally until the onion is translucent. It should just take a couple of minutes.
Stir in the chicken stock, being sure to scrape up any bits on the bottom of the pan as you add the stock. Bring to a boil.
Stir in the pasta and continue to boil for 7-8 minutes. When the stock is mostly absorbed, drop the heat to medium low.
Stir in the half and half or milk, thyme and vegetables. Simmer, stirring frequently until the vegetables and pasta are cooked through and the mixture is thickened. (if it gets too thick, add a little more stock.)
Just before serving, stir in the sour cream and adjust your salt and pepper to taste.
