Creamy Garlic Butter Chicken Noodles (Print-Friendly Version)

Chicken and noodles unite in a creamy garlic butter sauce for comforting flavor in every bite.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Main

01 - 5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
02 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
03 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
04 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
06 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
07 - Salt, to taste
08 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
09 - 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
10 - 1 cup heavy cream
11 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
12 - 8 ounces dried egg noodles or preferred pasta

# How to Make It:

01 - Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
02 - Season chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Add chicken to the skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
03 - Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the same skillet. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring, until aromatic.
04 - Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Stir in heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until well blended.
05 - Add uncooked egg noodles directly to the skillet. Stir thoroughly to coat noodles in the liquid. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and the sauce thickens.
06 - Return cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes over low heat. Serve warm; garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For best results, ensure the skillet is not overcrowded when browning chicken to achieve proper caramelization.
