Description
One-Pan Chicken with Buttered Noodles: a cozy, weeknight dinner featuring juicy chicken seared to perfection and nestled over garlicky, buttered noodles for minimal cleanup and maximum comfort.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 oz egg noodles or your favorite pasta
- 2½ cups chicken broth
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley or halal Parmesan for topping
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden, then remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter, then add onion and sauté until softened.
- Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the uncooked noodles and chicken broth. Stir to coat the noodles in the buttery mixture.
- Nestle the chicken breasts back on top.
- Cover and simmer for 12–15 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
- Remove from heat, sprinkle with parsley or halal Parmesan, and serve warm.
Notes
- You can substitute your favorite pasta if not using egg noodles.
- Adjust salt to taste, especially if using a high-sodium broth.
- For a brighter finish, finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
