Need a quick and satisfying dinner with minimal cleanup? This one-pan meal combines tender chicken with rich, buttery noodles in a creamy Parmesan sauce—perfect for busy nights!
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
1. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then sear for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
2. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.
3. Cook the Noodles: Stir in the egg noodles, cover, and let them simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are tender and absorb the flavors.
4. Make It Creamy: Reduce the heat to low, then add the butter and Parmesan cheese. Stir until melted and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
5. Finish & Serve: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, letting it warm for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot, spooning extra sauce over the top for maximum flavor.
