Units
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 8 oz egg noodles (or your preferred pasta)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes, or until browned and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, soy sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine with the sauce.
- Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until the noodles are coated in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- You can use cooked rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.
- If you want a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or milk.
- Feel free to add vegetables like peas, carrots, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
