Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked rotini or egg noodles

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed

1 cup onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup carrots, diced

1 cup celery, diced

1 cup frozen peas

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

1 cup chicken broth

1 teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Noodles: In a large pot, boil salted water and cook the noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.

      Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

        Combine Ingredients: Lower the heat and return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir in the frozen peas, cooked noodles, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, thyme, and paprika. Mix everything well until combined.

          Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together while occasionally stirring.

            Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, cover the skillet, and allow the cheese to melt, about 2-3 minutes.

              Garnish and Serve: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, turn off the heat, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
