How to Make One-Pan Chicken with Buttered Noodles
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Cook for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
Step 2: Prepare the Noodles
Using the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the egg noodles, cover the skillet, and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Step 3: Finish the Dish
Stir in the butter and grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the noodles. Let everything warm together for 2–3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
