Ingredients
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup cremini mushrooms sliced
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 1/2 red bell pepper diced
- 1 celery stalk chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 3 tbsp flour
- 4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 3 tbsp tomato sauce
- 1 tomato chopped
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley minced, divided
- 1/4 tsp fresh thyme minced*
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 (8 oz) bag egg noodles
- 1/4 cup half and half
- 1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
- 2 cup rotisserie chicken
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large pot or Dutch-oven set over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms and brown, about 4-5 minutes. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic, saute for about 4 minutes. Sprinkle the paprika and toast until fragrant. Add the flour and cook until a thick paste forms, taking care not to burn. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and whisk until a slightly thick broth forms. Add the tomato sauce, tomato, bay leaf, half of the parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, add the noodles, cover and reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook until the noodles are tender, about 8-10 minutes.
- Turn the heat off, stir in the heavy cream, sour cream and chicken. Top with parmesan and place into the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove and garnish with remaining parsley. Allow to rest for 8 minutes before serving.
Notes
*If you don't want to buy fresh thyme, use a pinch or two of dried thyme. I cooked mine in a large skillet and then transferred it to a baking dish just for the purposes of taking pictures. You can easily make this in a Dutch-oven (or any oven-proof skillet that's large enough) and transfer it directly to the oven to bake.
