Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir in garlic powder. Bring to a simmer.
  3. Add egg noodles to the skillet. Stir to combine with the chicken and sauce.
  4. Cover the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until noodles are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove from heat. Stir in butter and Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer sauce, you can add an extra splash of heavy cream.
  • Feel free to add your favorite vegetables, such as peas or spinach, during the last few minutes of cooking.
  • Ensure your skillet is large enough to hold all ingredients comfortably.
