In a large pot or deep skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 2: Build the creamy base
Pour in the chicken broth, milk, and cream of chicken soup. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Add salt, black pepper, thyme, and onion powder.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 3: Cook the noodles
Add the egg noodles directly into the pot. Stir occasionally and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and have absorbed some of the creamy sauce.
Step 4: Add chicken and vegetables
Stir in the cooked chicken and frozen peas (or mixed vegetables if using). Let everything simmer for another 3–5 minutes until heated through and well combined.
Step 5: Finish with creaminess
If you want extra richness, stir in grated Parmesan cheese. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Step 6: Serve
Remove from heat and let it sit for 2–3 minutes to thicken slightly. Serve warm in bowls and enjoy the creamy, comforting texture.
