Ingredients
Scale
- For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- For the Sauce:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- For the Noodles:
- 8 oz egg noodles
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning, and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
- Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it in the sauce, and add the cooked egg noodles. Toss everything together to coat in the creamy sauce.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, warm gently on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth if the sauce thickens too much.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a non-dairy cream alternative.
