A quick and easy weeknight dinner featuring seared chicken and tender egg noodles cooked in a single skillet with a simple pan sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 8 ounces wide egg noodles
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chicken pieces, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  4. Add egg noodles to the skillet, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low.
  5. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  6. Stir in Parmesan cheese and butter until melted and the sauce is creamy.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight meal with minimal cleanup.
  • You can substitute chicken breasts for thighs if preferred, but adjust cooking time as needed.
  • For a richer sauce, you can add a splash of heavy cream in the last few minutes of cooking.
