# How to Make It:
01 - Season chicken pieces evenly with salt and black pepper.
02 - Heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pot or deep skillet. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
03 - In the same pot, add chopped onion, sliced carrots, and celery. Cook until vegetables soften, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
04 - Sprinkle flour into the vegetables and cook while stirring for 1 to 2 minutes to create a roux.
05 - Gradually whisk in chicken broth, whole milk, and heavy cream. Stir in Dijon mustard, dried thyme, parsley, paprika, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
06 - Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, and cook for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
07 - Meanwhile, prepare egg noodles in a separate pot according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
08 - Return cooked chicken to the sauce along with frozen peas. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until peas are warmed and chicken is heated through.
09 - Add drained egg noodles to the sauce and toss gently to combine all components evenly.
10 - Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley if desired before serving.
