Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 12 ounces Uncooked egg noodles
- 3 cups Fresh broccoli florets
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same pot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the uncooked egg noodles to the pot and stir to ensure they are evenly submerged in the liquid. Cover with a lid and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.
Add the broccoli florets to the pot, cover again, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender but still bright green.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cooked chicken. Allow it to warm through for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is creamy and well combined. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
