Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown on the outside and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour the chicken broth and milk into the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Add the egg noodles to the skillet, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the liquid. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the noodles cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and grated parmesan cheese evenly over the skillet. Cover the skillet again and let it sit for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
