One-Pan Chicken with Creamy Buttered Noodles 🍗🍝
Looking for a hassle-free dinner that packs a flavor punch? This one-pan dish featuring juicy chicken and creamy buttered noodles will become a weeknight favorite in no time!
Ingredients:
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 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:
1. Cook the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

5. Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve the dish warm, making sure to spoon some of that delicious creamy sauce over everything!
