This One-Pan Chicken with Buttered Noodles is a simple, comforting dish perfect for busy weeknights. Tender boneless chicken breasts are seasoned with aromatic spices and cooked alongside egg noodles in a flavorful chicken broth, finished with garlic butter and Parmesan cheese for an extra touch of richness. Garnished with fresh parsley, it offers a delicious, well-rounded meal with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Noodles and Sauce:

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
  2. Sear the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and mostly cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the Noodles: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Add the egg noodles, stirring to submerge them completely. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and most of the broth has been absorbed.
  4. Finish Cooking the Chicken: Nestle the seared chicken breasts back into the noodles, cover the skillet, and let cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. Add Butter and Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the butter and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined, creating a rich and creamy sauce that coats the noodles and chicken.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for a pop of color and freshness. Serve hot, directly from the pan for easy cleanup.

Notes

  • To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before seasoning.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, add 1 tablespoon of flour to the garlic before adding broth to create a roux.
  • For a lower sodium option, use low-sodium chicken broth.
  • Parmesan cheese is optional but adds a nice savory depth to the dish.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove or microwave.
