Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cups White button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 12 ounces Egg noodles
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened and slightly browned. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and garlic, stirring constantly, to create a roux. Cook for 1 minute.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the chicken broth while continuously whisking to prevent lumps. Add the heavy cream, thyme, paprika, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Simmer the sauce for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy mushroom sauce over them. Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles and set aside.

Step 8

To serve, place a portion of egg noodles on each plate and top with a chicken breast and a generous amount of the cream of mushroom sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
