Scale
Core Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 3 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley (optional), for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- Prepare the Noodles:
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the egg noodles, cover, and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.
- Combine and Finish:
- Once the noodles are cooked, stir in butter and Parmesan cheese. Mix until the sauce is creamy and the butter is fully melted.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and spoon some sauce over it. Heat for an additional 2–3 minutes until warmed through.
- Serve and Garnish:
- Plate the chicken and noodles. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Don’t Overcook the Chicken: Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) to keep the chicken juicy.
- Stir the Noodles: Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking or clumping.
- Fresh Parmesan: Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.
