Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 12 ounces Egg noodles
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and lightly golden. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Slice or shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the pot.
Stir in the egg noodles and let them cook in the broth mixture for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender, stirring occasionally.
Add the frozen peas to the pot and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and mix until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving for a burst of color and freshness (optional).
