One-Pan Chicken with Buttered Noodles

Ingredients:

INGREDIENTS	AMOUNT
Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless	4
Olive oil	2 tablespoons
Garlic cloves, minced	3
Chicken broth	2 cups
Heavy cream	1 cup
Egg noodles	8 ounces
Butter	3 tablespoons
Parmesan cheese, grated	1/4 cup
Salt and pepper	To taste
Fresh parsley	For garnish

How To Make One-Pan Chicken with Buttered Noodles:

Step 1: Cook Chicken: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the 4 chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165F/74C). Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

Step 2: Start Sauce: In the same pan, reduce the heat slightly and cook the 3 minced garlic cloves until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 2 cups chicken broth and 1 cup heavy cream, then bring the liquid to a low simmer.

Step 3: Cook Noodles: Add the 8 oz egg noodles to the simmering liquid. Stir to submerge them completely. Cover the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

Step 4: Finish Dish: Stir in 3 tbsp butter and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese until both are melted and the sauce is smooth. Return the cooked chicken to the pan to warm through for about 1 minute. Garnish generously with fresh parsley before serving.
