Description
A comforting one-pan meal featuring tender chicken, creamy garlic sauce, and egg noodles, perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the chicken: Begin by generously seasoning your bite-sized chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Sear the chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and allow it to develop a golden-brown crust, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add the garlic: Stir in the minced garlic, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth: Raise the heat to bring everything to a gentle simmer, then stir in the egg noodles and cook until tender, about 6-8 minutes.
- Create the sauce: Lower the heat, stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, then sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Make-ahead tips: Prepare chicken and sauce ahead of time, storing separately; warm together when ready. For customization, consider adding sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
