Description

Juicy seasoned chicken cooked in one pan with buttery noodles in a savory broth. This simple family-friendly meal is comforting, flavorful, and easy to clean up, making it perfect for a quick and satisfying weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 chicken breasts, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Noodles and Sauce

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 8 oz egg noodles
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley for garnish


Instructions

  1. Season the chicken: In a bowl, mix the sliced chicken breasts with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to coat evenly and infuse flavor.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Melt the butter: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, using the leftover chicken bits for extra flavor.
  4. Cook the noodles: Add the egg noodles to the skillet, then pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the noodles are tender and have absorbed most of the broth, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Create the creamy sauce: Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese into the skillet. Mix well until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.
  6. Combine chicken and noodles: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss everything together to warm through and combine all the flavors.
  7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for a burst of color and freshness. Serve warm and enjoy your comforting one-pan chicken with buttered noodles.

Notes

  • For added vegetables, stir in broccoli or peas during the noodle cooking step.
  • Use shredded rotisserie chicken to cut down on cooking time.
  • Freshly grated parmesan cheese gives the best flavor compared to pre-grated varieties.
