One-Pan Chicken with Creamy Buttered Noodles
Whip up a cozy dinner with this one-pan chicken and creamy noodles that bursts with flavor! Perfect for busy weeknights!
Ingredients:
– 8 oz egg noodles
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 3 garlic cloves, minced
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 3 tbsp butter
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped optional
Instructions:
1. Start by cooking the chicken. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Generously season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Once done, remove the chicken and keep it warm on a plate.
2. In the same skillet, prepare the noodles. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in the egg noodles and cover the skillet. Let the noodles cook for about 8-10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally to prevent any sticking.
4. Once the noodles are cooked to your liking, lower the heat. Mix in the butter and grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce becomes creamy. Return the chicken to the skillet to heat through for a few minutes.
5. Serve your dish warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired, and savor that rich, creamy sauce over the chicken and noodles!
