Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown on the outside and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour the chicken broth and milk into the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Step 5
Add the egg noodles to the skillet, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the liquid. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the noodles cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Once the noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine.
Step 7
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and grated parmesan cheese evenly over the skillet. Cover the skillet again and let it sit for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
