Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more, to taste, for greasing the dish
- 1 (8-ounce) bag extra-wide egg noodles
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 ounces sharp cheddar, grated, divided
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup frozen lima beans, thawed
- 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 thyme sprigs, plus more, to taste, for garnish
- kosher salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock

Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Step 2 -Use the extra butter to grease a 3-quart baking dish.
Step 3 -In a pot of salted, boiling water, cook the noodles to al dente, according to the package directions. Drain the noodles.
Step 4 -In a bowl, add the panko, the oil, and 1/4 cup of the cheddar and stir to combine. Set it aside.
Step 5 -In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of the butter.
Step 6 -Add the carrots, the bell pepper, the mushrooms, the lima beans, the onion, the garlic, and 2 of the thyme sprigs and season with the salt and the pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 6-8 minutes.
Step 7 -Add the ground chicken to the veggie mixture and cook, while crumbling the meat, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 8 -Add the flour to the chicken mixture and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute.
Step 9 -Add the wine to the chicken mixture and cook until it has reduced by half, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 10 -Add the stock and the heavy cream to the chicken mixture and bring to a simmer.
Step 11 -Cook the chicken mixture until it just starts to thicken, about 2-4 minutes.
Step 12 -Remove and discard the thyme sprigs from the chicken mixture.
Step 13 -In a large bowl, add the cooked noodles, the cooked chicken mixture, and the remaining cheddar and stir until the cheese has melted.
Step 14 -Season the noodle mixture with the salt and the pepper.
Step 15 -Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with the reserved panko mixture.
Step 16 -Bake until it is golden-brown on top, about 10-12 minutes.
Step 17 -Serve the bake garnished with the extra thyme sprigs.
