Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Choose high-quality chicken for the best taste.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Essential seasonings to enhance the flavors.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil A good quality extra virgin olive oil is best.
  • 8 ounces egg noodles Opt for fresh or high-quality dried noodles.
  • 4 tablespoons butter Use unsalted butter for control over salt levels.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic brings an aromatic punch.
  • 1 cup chicken broth Homemade broth is ideal, low-sodium works too.
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream Provides a luxurious, creamy texture.
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Use freshly grated for better flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley Adds a pop of color and freshness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  6. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  7. Add the egg noodles to the skillet, stirring to coat in the garlic butter and toast for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stir well, and bring to a boil. Then reduce to a simmer.
  9. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the noodles.
  10. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through to 165°F (74°C).
  11. Remove from the oven, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top, and broil for 2-3 minutes until melted and bubbly.
  12. Garnish with chopped parsley and enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of chicken broth.
