Description
One Pan Chicken with Buttered Noodles is a delightful dish that combines juicy chicken with rich, buttery noodles, perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Stir in dried thyme.
- Add the egg noodles to the skillet and stir well. Cook the noodles for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are al dente, stirring occasionally.
- Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the butter until melted and combined.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the noodles. Spoon some of the noodles over the chicken.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to the garlic while sautéing.
- Try using whole wheat noodles for a healthier option.
