🍗 One-Pan Chicken with Buttered Noodles
Ingredients
- 2–4 chicken breasts or thighs
- 8 oz egg noodles or your favorite pasta
- 2–3 tbsp butter
- 2 cups chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic, parsley, or Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Season chicken with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet or sauté pan, sear chicken in 1 tbsp butter over medium heat until golden (about 4–5 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
- Add noodles and cook according to package instructions, stirring occasionally, until tender.
- Return chicken to the pan, add remaining butter, and toss everything together so the noodles are coated and the chicken is heated through.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley or Parmesan if desired, and serve immediately.
🌟 Tips
- Use chicken thighs for juicier results.
- Add frozen peas or spinach in the last 2 minutes for a veggie boost.
- For extra flavor, sauté 1–2 cloves garlic before adding broth.
If you want, I can also make a 3-ingredient “lazy” version: just chicken, noodles, and butter, perfect for a 20-minute meal with minimal cleanup.
Do you want me to make that version?
