Heres a simple and delicious One-Pan Chicken with Buttered Noodles recipeperfect for a quick dinner with minimal cleanup!
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon paprika optional, for a bit of color
For the Noodles:
8 oz egg noodles or any pasta you prefer
4 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder optional
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and paprika if using.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through internal temperature should reach 165F/74C.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
Step 2: Cook the Noodles
In the same skillet, add the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. The broth will cook into the noodles, making them flavorful.
Step 3: Add Butter and Cheese
Once the noodles are cooked and most of the broth has been absorbed, reduce the heat to low.
Add the butter and let it melt into the noodles. Stir until the noodles are coated in the butter.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and garlic powder if using, adjusting the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4: Serve
Slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips or serve them whole on top of the buttered noodles.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
Enjoy!
