Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken breast
• 12 oz Egg noodles
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 quarts Water
• 1 tbsp Salt (for cooking noodles)

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with 4 quarts of water, add 1 tablespoon of salt, and bring it to a boil.

Step 2

While the water is heating, prepare the chicken. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and pat dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Add the egg noodles to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions (usually 7-9 minutes) until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Then, whisk in the heavy cream. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 8

Stir in the salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.

Step 9

Add the drained egg noodles to the skillet and gently mix everything together until the noodles are fully coated in the sauce.

Step 10

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the mixture and stir well until the cheese is melted and combined.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm.
