Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces dried egg noodles
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
Add the dried egg noodles directly to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cover the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and mix until melted and the sauce is creamy.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the noodles and sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm the chicken through.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
