Equipment

Large skillet with lid
wooden spoon or spatula
Sharp knife for chopping and slicing
measuring cups & spoons

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
8 oz egg noodles
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper, to taste
chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and sear chicken until golden and cooked through. Remove and slice.
In the same skillet, add butter and garlic; cook until fragrant. Stir in chicken stock and heavy cream.
Add the egg noodles and simmer, stirring occasionally, until tender and the sauce thickens.
Stir in Parmesan cheese, then return chicken slices to the skillet and coat in sauce.
Garnish with parsley and serve hot, straight from the skillet.

Notes

Try swapping in chicken thighs for extra flavor, or lighten it up with half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Stir in spinach or peas at the end for freshness, and always use freshly grated Parmesan for the best taste. Leftovers reheat well with a splash of stock or cream.
