Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound chicken breast diced
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet with lid
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wooden spoon or silicone spatula
  • Grater

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken breast, seasoning it with salt, pepper, and half of the Italian seasoning. Cook the chicken until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer. Add egg noodles, remaining Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to ensure noodles are submerged.
  4. Cover skillet with lid and cook noodles for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until noodles are tender and have absorbed the liquid.
  5. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Return cooked chicken to skillet, tossing to coat and heat through.
  6. Remove skillet from heat. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for best flavor and melting quality.
  • Stir noodles occasionally during cooking to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  • If sauce thickens too much, add a splash of chicken broth or cream to loosen it.
  • For extra brightness, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat with added broth or cream to maintain creaminess.
