Chicken Noodle Skillet

Skillet meals are some of my favorite dinners to make.  They are simple, budget friendly, and require little clean up.  In this recipe, cooked chicken is paired with mushrooms, carrots, egg noodles and celery.  All of the ingredients are cooked in a sauce of chicken broth and cream which has been seasoned with some onion powder, dried thyme, dried parsley,  salt, and pepper.   When the skillet is done everything is sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese.  Cheese just makes everything better.

You have a delicious dinner with little fuss that is made in about 30 minutes.
