A comforting and indulgent dish featuring tender chicken, buttery egg noodles, and a creamy sauce that comes together in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 12 oz wide egg noodles
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions (7-9 minutes). Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  5. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to coat in the sauce. Add the drained noodles and gently toss until everything is evenly combined and coated in the creamy sauce.
  7. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

[‘Don’t overcook the noodles to avoid a mushy texture.’, ‘Season the chicken and sauce as you go for layered flavors.’, ‘Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smoother sauce.’, ‘Simmer the sauce gently to avoid curdling the cream.’, ‘Keep the dish warm on low heat if not serving immediately.’]
