For a richer, creamier gravy, stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream or half-and-half during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Add other herbs like 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary or sage along with the thyme for a more complex flavor profile. A tablespoon of fresh dill stirred in at the end is also delicious.
Make it a more complete one-pot meal by adding 1 cup of frozen peas, corn, or mixed vegetables along with the noodles for the last 5-7 minutes of cooking.

It's a hearty comfort food rich in protein, which is great for muscle maintenance. However, it is also high in refined carbohydrates and sodium. To make it healthier, you could use whole wheat flour for the noodles, use less butter, and add more vegetables like peas or corn.
Absolutely! For a quicker version, use frozen homestyle egg noodles like Reames. Add them directly from the freezer and cook for the time specified on the package, usually around 20-25 minutes, until tender.
The gravy thickens from both the roux and the starch released by the noodles. If it's too thick, whisk in more of the reserved chicken broth until it reaches your desired consistency. If it's too thin, let it simmer a bit longer or create a small slurry of 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water and whisk it in.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The dish will thicken considerably when cold. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of broth or milk to loosen the gravy until it's heated through.
