Description
A cozy, one-pan meal of seared chicken breasts and buttery egg noodles cooked in savory broth — ready in under 30 minutes with minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 5–6 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Add butter to the same skillet and let it melt. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
- Add egg noodles and cook until tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 7–8 minutes.
- Slice the cooked chicken and return to the skillet. Toss to combine with the noodles.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs for a richer flavor.
- Stir in heavy cream or Parmesan at the end for added creaminess.
- Add vegetables like spinach or peas for a complete one-pan meal.
- Use garlic herb butter for extra flavor.
- Add a splash of broth when reheating to loosen noodles.
