Equipment

  • Large Skillet

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Butter Melted
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts Cut into strips
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper
  • 8 ounces Egg Noodles
  • 3 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Optional
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley Chopped

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the olive oil. Allow the butter to foam briefly so it mixes with the oil and flavors the pan.
  • Season the chicken strips evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spices into the chicken so every piece is well-coated.
  • Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C). If your strips are thin, check after 4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same skillet (no need to clean it), add the egg noodles and pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
  • Bring the skillet to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and gently mix until the chicken is warmed through and coated in the sauce. Let it sit a minute so flavors blend.
  • Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if you like a touch of heat.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm straight from the skillet.

Notes

For best results, serve immediately and enjoy the creamy texture of the sauce.
