Ingredients

For the Chicken:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

For the Noodles & Sauce:

8 oz egg noodles (or fettuccine)

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

3 tbsp butter

¼ cup grated Parmesan

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

(Serves 4)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Sear the Chicken

Pat chicken dry, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook chicken 5-6 mins per side until golden and 165°F (74°C). Remove and set aside.

2. Cook the Noodles

In the same skillet, sauté garlic for 30 secs until fragrant.

Add broth and cream, then stir in noodles. Bring to a simmer.

Cover and cook 8-10 mins, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender.

3. Finish the Sauce

Stir in butter and Parmesan until melted and creamy.

Nestle chicken back into the skillet. Heat 2-3 mins.

4. Serve

Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan.

Pro Tips

Juicier chicken: Pound breasts to even thickness before cooking.

Extra flavor: Add ½ tsp Italian seasoning or 1 tsp lemon zest.

Pasta swap: Use penne or rotini for a twist.
