Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or butter for searing)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 oz egg noodles
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, melt butter. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up the brown bits, then stir in heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add egg noodles, stir, and cover the pan. Simmer on medium-low for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once noodles are nearly done, return chicken to the pan. Simmer for another 3–4 minutes to meld flavors.
