This Easy Chicken or Turkey Pot Pie Skillet Pasta is the perfect recipe for using up that leftover turkey from Thanksgiving! 

What ingredients do I need to make this Easy Chicken Pot Pie Skillet Pasta?

• No yolk egg or whole wheat egg noodles- If you are following the purple plan you’ll want to use whole wheat egg noodles since they are zero points on the plan. If you are following the blue or green plan I recommend using the no yolk egg noodles. They are lower in points than most egg noodles and help keep this dish lower in points. 
• Light butter -I use Land o’ Lakes light butter made with canola oil
• Onion- diced
• Garlic- minced
• Frozen peas and carrots- thawed
• Celery-thinly sliced 
• Salt-to taste 
• Pepper- to taste
• Granulated chicken seasoning- or if you like you more herb flavoring you can substitute the granulated chicken seasoning for poultry seasoning which is a combination of dried herbs such as sage, rosemary, ground black pepper, and marjoram.
• All-purpose flour
• Fat free chicken broth 
• Fat free half and half– if you can’t find fat free half and half you can use skim milk mixed with cornstarch-the cornstarch helps thickens the skim milk-whisk 1 cup skim milk with 1 Tbsp cornstarch until smooth.
• Cooked chicken breast or turkey breast (without skin) -cut into bite size pieces 
• Dried or Fresh Parsley-as a garnish, if desired.
