Oh yes 🍗🍝 — One-Pan Chicken with Creamy Buttered Noodles is comfort food at its finest: tender chicken, rich buttery noodles, and everything cooked in one skillet for minimal cleanup. Here’s a detailed recipe:
One-Pan Chicken with Creamy Buttered Noodles
Ingredients (Serves 4)
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
Noodles & Sauce
- 8 oz egg noodles (or pasta of choice)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- ½ cup milk or cream
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: ½ cup grated Parmesan
- Optional garnish: fresh parsley or thyme
Instructions
1. Cook Chicken
- Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Heat oil/butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cook chicken 5–6 min per side until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C). Remove from pan and set aside.
2. Cook Noodles in the Same Pan
- Add garlic to the skillet and sauté 30 sec until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and milk, bring to a simmer.
- Stir in egg noodles, cover, and cook 8–10 min until tender, stirring occasionally.
3. Make It Creamy
- Once noodles are tender, stir in butter and optional Parmesan until creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Combine & Serve
- Slice chicken and place on top of noodles.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme. Serve warm.
Pro Tips
- One-pan convenience: Cooking noodles in the same pan absorbs the chicken flavor.
- Creamier sauce: Add extra butter or ¼ cup cream.
- Cheesy twist: Mix shredded mozzarella or cheddar into noodles before serving.
- Vegetable boost: Add peas, spinach, or broccoli in the last few minutes of noodle cooking.
I can also give a garlic herb butter chicken with noodles version, a low-carb zucchini noodle version, or a slow-cooker creamy chicken noodle one-pot if you want some tasty variations.
