Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the egg noodles according to package directions, drain and set aside.
2. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the chicken and cook for 6 to 7 minutes until no longer pink inside, stirring occasionally.
4. Sprinkle flour over the chicken, stir well, and cook for 1 minute.
5. Pour in the milk slowly while stirring to combine, add the frozen broccoli, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
6. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until the broccoli is tender and the sauce thickens slightly.
7. Toss the cooked noodles into the skillet, stir to combine, and serve immediately.

Why it’s cheap

3 of the 9 ingredients were on sale at ALDI the week of October 18, 2026, led by boneless skinless chicken breasts at $9.95 instead of $10.95.

The sale items rang up $1.25 under their regular prices.

Penny Meals prices a dinner by the share of each package you actually cook, adds an estimated shelf price for anything that wasn’t on sale, and counts pantry staples like oil and salt as free. That came to $3.42 a serving, or $13.68 for 4 servings.
