One-Pan Chicken with Buttered Noodles Savory Delight
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 4 grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- to taste salt and pepper
- for garnish fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add broccoli florets and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes until the broccoli is tender and the tomatoes start to blister. Then, remove the veggies from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add chicken broth (or water) and bring to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain any excess liquid if necessary, but leave some for creaminess.
- Lower the heat and add the heavy cream, grated Parmesan, and butter to the noodles, stirring gently to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
- Return the cooked chicken and sautéed vegetables back to the pan with the noodles. Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy sauce, heating through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
