Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
While the noodles cook, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add them to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and frozen peas and carrots, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Step 5
Add the cooked noodles and sliced chicken back into the skillet, tossing everything together to coat in the creamy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 6
If desired, stir in the parmesan cheese at this stage for added richness.
Step 7
Serve the chicken and noodles hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
