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:
1️⃣ 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.
2️⃣ 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.
3️⃣ 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.
4️⃣ 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.
5️⃣ Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
💡 Tips:
Customizable Add-Ins: Add steamed broccoli, peas, or sautéed mushrooms to the noodles for extra veggies.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or cream if needed.
Cheese Options: Swap Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a tangier flavor.
