Instructions

In a large pot, melt 2 tbsp butter. Sauté onion for 3–4 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
Add chicken, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until lightly browned.
Push chicken aside, add 1 tbsp butter and flour to make a roux. Cook 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in broth and milk. Bring to simmer.
Add pasta and frozen veggies. Cover and cook 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in cream cheese and parsley. Simmer 2 minutes more.
Let sit off heat for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use gluten-free pasta and flour as needed.
Add shredded cheese for a richer version.
Rotisserie chicken works great as a shortcut.
