Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 8 oz egg noodles
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
  • Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt.
  • Add the chicken broth, bringing it to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and let it cook for 2-3 minutes to slightly thicken the sauce.
  • Add the egg noodles to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the sauce. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Slice the cooked chicken breasts and return them to the skillet, mixing with the noodles and sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with tofu or vegetables.
  • For a cheesy twist, sprinkle Parmesan cheese or shredded mozzarella on top.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
  • Make sure to stir the noodles occasionally while cooking to prevent sticking.
