Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded or chopped
- all-purpose flour
- 2 cups half and half
- 1½ chicken broth
- butter
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 can pimentos, drained
- garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons salt, divided
- 1 bag egg noodles
- salt (for the pasta water)
Method
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add ½ teaspoon of salt to the water, then add the egg noodles. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Turn off the heat, drain the noodles, and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.

- Using medium heat, bring a large pan or skillet to temperature. Add the butter and let it melt completely. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes, until they begin to soften and release their juices.

- Sprinkle the flour evenly over the mushrooms. Stir constantly and cook until the flour has browned slightly and no raw flour remains.

- Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring. Continue mixing until the broth and roux are fully combined and smooth.
- Pour in the half and half. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken into a creamy sauce.

- Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and the drained pimentos to the pan. Stir to combine evenly. Season with the remaining 1½ teaspoons of salt, the garlic powder, and the black pepper.

- Add the frozen peas and stir until everything is well combined.

- Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 3 minutes over medium heat, just until the peas are heated through and the sauce is hot and creamy.
