Description
One-Pan Chicken with Buttered Noodles is a simple yet comforting meal that combines tender chicken breasts with perfectly cooked egg noodles in a rich, buttery broth. This dish is made in one skillet, making cleanup easy while delivering on flavor.
Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
8 oz egg noodles
3 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
- Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions, about 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once the noodles are tender, stir in the butter until melted and well-combined.
- Slice the cooked chicken and place it back into the skillet with the noodles. Stir everything together to combine.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Vegetarian version: Swap the chicken for a plant-based protein like tofu or tempeh for a meatless meal.
Spicy version: Add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for some heat.
For added nutrition, toss in some spinach, peas, or mushrooms.
Different noodles: You can use spaghetti or fettuccine if egg noodles are unavailable.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of broth or water.
If desired, add heavy cream or half-and-half for creamier noodles.
