Based on the dish in your image, here’s a high-protein version with creamy sauce, chicken, peas, carrots, and noodles.

Ingredients — 4 servings

Main

• 500 g boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
• 200 g egg noodles or high-protein noodles
• 150 g frozen peas
• 150 g carrots, diced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 500 ml low-sodium chicken broth
• 150 ml low-fat/high-protein milk
• 150 g nonfat Greek yogurt
• 30 g grated Parmesan

Seasoning

• 1 tsp dried thyme
• ½ tsp dried parsley
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp black pepper
• Salt to taste

To thicken

• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp cold water

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Cook the noodles according to the package directions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken, season with black pepper, garlic powder, and a little salt, and cook for 5–7 minutes, until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the onion and carrots. Cook for 4–5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
4. Add garlic, thyme, parsley, and onion powder. Cook for 30 seconds.
5. Pour in the chicken broth and milk. Bring to a gentle simmer.
6. Mix the cornstarch with cold water. Stir it into the skillet and simmer for 2–3 minutes, until the sauce starts to thicken.
7. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the Greek yogurt and Parmesan until you have a creamy sauce.
8. Add the cooked chicken and peas. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
9. Add the cooked noodles and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
10. Taste and adjust the seasoning. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or milk.
11. Garnish with fresh parsley and a little Parmesan.
