Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5–6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in the egg noodles, cover, and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the butter and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and let it warm through for 2–3 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm with sauce spooned over each serving.
Notes
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best texture and flavor.
- You can swap egg noodles with fettuccine or rotini if preferred.
- Add spinach or peas during the last few minutes for extra veggies.
- This dish is best served immediately while the sauce is creamy.
