Description
This one-pan dish is perfect for a quick and comforting meal! Juicy, seasoned chicken is cooked to perfection and paired with buttery, creamy noodles—all made in one pan for easy cleanup.
Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
For the noodles:
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tbsp butter
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
1️⃣ Season the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
2️⃣ Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3️⃣ Cook the noodles: In the same skillet, add the chicken broth, whole milk, butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
4️⃣ Add the noodles: Stir in the egg noodles and cook uncovered for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
5️⃣ Finish the dish: Lower the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
6️⃣ Serve: Slice the cooked chicken and place it on top of the creamy noodles. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
✔️ One-pan convenience: Cooking everything in one skillet allows the noodles to absorb all the flavors from the chicken.
✔️ Creamier sauce? Add an extra ¼ cup of milk or a splash of heavy cream at the end.
✔️ Add veggies: Toss in spinach, mushrooms, or peas for extra nutrition.
