    For the Noodles and Sauce:

    1. 8 oz egg noodles: Tender and flavorful, they soak up all the creamy goodness.

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and add them to the hot skillet.
  3. Cook for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Sauce

  1. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add chicken broth and heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 3: Cook the Noodles

  1. Stir in the egg noodles and cover the skillet.
  2. Let the noodles cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Step 4: Combine and Finish

  1. Reduce the heat to low and stir in butter and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
  2. Return the chicken to the skillet, allowing it to heat through for 2–3 minutes.

Step 5: Serve
