Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles cook, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add them to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and frozen peas and carrots, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Add the cooked noodles and sliced chicken back into the skillet, tossing everything together to coat in the creamy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
If desired, stir in the parmesan cheese at this stage for added richness.
Serve the chicken and noodles hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
