One-Pan Chicken with Buttered Noodles

One-Pan Chicken with Buttered Noodles

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 8 oz egg noodles
• 3 tablespoons butter
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions:

1. Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
2. Prepare the Noodles: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.
3. Cook Noodles: Add the egg noodles to the skillet. Cover and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and the liquid has slightly reduced.
4. Combine: Stir in the butter and grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top. Heat for an additional 1-2 minutes.
