Ingredients
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
8 oz egg noodles
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups chicken broth
3 tbsp butter
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté it for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Then, pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Bring the broth to a simmer.
Next, add the heavy cream to the skillet and stir to combine. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
Stir in the butter and grated Parmesan cheese, and continue stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Now, add the egg noodles into the skillet, making sure they are submerged in the sauce. Cover the skillet and let the noodles.
cook in the sauce for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The noodles will absorb the flavorful sauce as they cook.
Once the noodles are tender, return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and nestle them into the noodles.
Let the chicken warm up for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the deliciously creamy and satisfying dish.
If you’d like a slightly crispy texture, you can broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes after searing it in the pan. This will give the chicken a golden crust while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
To elevate the flavor further, feel free to add a squeeze of lemon juice or some red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
This recipe is versatile, so feel free to adjust the seasonings to your liking.
