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
- 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.
- 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.
- Melt the butter: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, using the leftover chicken bits for extra flavor.
- 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.
- Create the creamy sauce: Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese into the skillet. Mix well until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.
- Combine chicken and noodles: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss everything together to warm through and combine all the flavors.
- 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.
