Ingredients
-
1/2 pound no-yolk egg noodles
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cups fat-free milk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 teaspoon salt
freshly ground pepper
1 (10-ounce) package frozen peas
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar or Swiss cheese
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray a 2-quart high-sided baking dish with nonstick spray.
2. Cook the noodles according to package directions omitting the salt. Drain and set aside.
3. Meanwhile, whisk the flour and 1/2 cup of the broth in a small bowl until the flour dissolves.
4. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the milk and the remaining 1/2 cup broth; bring the mixture to a simmer. Whisk in the flour mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce bubbles and thickens, about 3 minutes. Stir in the mustard, tarragon, salt, and pepper.
5. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the noodles, peas, chicken, and cheese. Pour the mixture into the baking dish. Bake until bubbling and golden brown, about 40 minutes. Let stand about 5 minutes before serving.
