Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 oz wide egg noodles
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. In the same pan, melt butter and sauté garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Add egg noodles to the pan and press them into the liquid as much as possible. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender.
- Return chicken to the pan and stir in Parmesan cheese. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is well coated.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Add spinach or peas for extra veggies and color.
- Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for a shortcut.
- Adjust creaminess by adding more or less cream or broth.
