Print Recipe

A creamy, buttery dish featuring tender chicken and egg noodles in a rich sauce. Perfect for a quick and comforting dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz egg noodles
  • 2 chicken breasts or thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and fully cooked (about 6-8 minutes). Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter and reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom. Let the broth simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Lower the heat and slowly stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, followed by the drained noodles. Toss everything together gently to coat the noodles and chicken in the creamy buttery sauce.
  7. Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a burst of color and flavor.
  8. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the creamy, buttery deliciousness!

Notes

[“Don’t overcook the noodles; keep them al dente.”, ‘Use freshly grated Parmesan for better flavor and texture.’, ‘Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper.’, ‘Allow the butter and cream to meld together over low heat for a smooth sauce.’, ‘Add a splash of chicken broth or cream when reheating leftovers to revive the sauce.’]
