This One-Pan Chicken with Buttered Noodles is a quick and comforting weeknight dinner made with juicy chicken breasts, buttery garlic egg noodles, and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Ready in just 30 minutes with minimal cleanup.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 8 oz egg noodles
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in egg noodles, ensuring they’re submerged.
  4. Cover and cook 7–8 minutes, until noodles are tender and most liquid is absorbed.
  5. Meanwhile, melt butter in a small pan and sauté garlic until fragrant (1–2 minutes).
  6. Stir garlic butter and Parmesan into noodles until creamy.
  7. Slice chicken and place back on top of noodles. Let warm together for a few minutes.
  8. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Swap chicken breasts for thighs for richer flavor.
  • Add red pepper flakes or cayenne for heat.
  • Toss in spinach, mushrooms, or peas for extra veggies.
  • Add cream or extra butter for a more indulgent version.
  • Use gluten-free pasta and broth for a gluten-free option.
