One-Pan Chicken with Buttered Noodles

A creamy, savory, and comforting one-pan chicken and noodle dish perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 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
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then cook for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  • Prepare the Noodles: In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add chicken broth and heavy cream, then bring to a simmer. Add egg noodles, cover, and cook for 8–10 minutes until tender.
  • Combine: Stir in butter and Parmesan until fully melted and creamy. Return chicken to the skillet and simmer for a few minutes.
  • Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • Substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier option.
  • Adjust seasoning or add chili flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
