Perfect for busy weeknights, this dish combines simple ingredients like garlic, chicken broth, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese to create a hearty American classic with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Sauce and Noodles

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through.
  2. Sauté Garlic and Add Liquids: Remove the chicken briefly and in the same pan, add the minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  3. Cook Noodles: Add the egg noodles to the simmering liquid, making sure they are submerged. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and cooked through.
  4. Finish Sauce and Combine: Stir in the butter and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce becomes creamy and smooth. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the pan, nestling them into the noodles, and warm through for a couple of minutes.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish before serving to add a fresh, vibrant touch.

Notes

  • All components cook in one pan for easy cleanup and minimal effort.
  • Use a large skillet with a lid to cook the chicken and noodles efficiently.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper after adding the cheese to taste.
  • For a lighter variation, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, but the sauce will be less rich.
  • If fresh parsley is unavailable, dried parsley can be used as a garnish, but fresh is preferred for flavor and presentation.
  • Ensure the noodles are fully submerged in liquid to avoid uneven cooking.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave with a splash of broth or milk to loosen the sauce.
